Some time working with binary oriented software systems have teach me=20
that simple changes may become harder when size and numbers grow up. I=20
think this may be even harder with a non-binary oriented system like=20
ports.

But this doesn't solve the real problem.  We've lost a reference model=20
about rc and the interaction with the base system and ports.

=2D some kinda of style for ports/system rc scripts
=2D some docs about keywords and stage support
=2D some kinda of timeline model
=2E..

I think that this is more or less out there, but not in a strict=20
document that may guide for the change to FreeBSD-6.1
