First, anyone smart enough to make modifications to their /etc/rc* scripts
is probably smart enough to hack them into the rcNG framework with a
minimum of fuss. It's not really THAT much different internally. Second,
it's exactly for situations like this that I think we SHOULD make a clean
break at 5.0. There are already enough clean breaks to be made other
places, this is very likely to be one of the least of them.
