Some time tonight I will be vendor importing the NetBSD rc system.
(no it will not be functional at that time).
I am doing this to help the various efforts that are working on this so
they can pass round patches vs. entire files.
Doing the vendor import will also help remind us the goal here is to
adopt the NetBSD RC system -- not go off and have a second syndrome
party, or other results of NIH. Once the vendor import is done, we can
coordinate with the NetBSD folks the minor changes that FreeBSD will
require to use their system.
There may be places where the NetBSD RC system could doing things better,
but the ongoing relationship we can create with NetBSD is something far
more valuable than a few efficiency/functionality tweaks.
If we do find short comings we should resolve them by working with the
NetBSD guys. With any hope, maybe BSD/OS could pick up this RC system
also.
