There is a problem with this approach.
/etc/defaults/rc.conf defines ${rc_conf_files}
However, I have no chance to override it before it is used.
When I wrote my comment about "code" in rc.conf, I was
actually thinking about /etc/defaults/rc.conf and the
recursion loop that that creates when someone copies it to
/etc/rc.conf.
You can, and IMHO should, make the defaults strictly variables.
However, I fear that you need a bit more logic to allow the
overriding of ${rc_conf_files}.
