No third party packages are going to know how to use this interface so we'd have to hack things by hand anyway and personally I don't like the idea of there being a way to hook things automatically into the boot procedure. If I want to change/add things to my boot scripts I'll go and do it by hand. I'll have to check every bloody package I install to see if it's doing something nasty in rc.local.d from now on if we add this. -- Paul Richards, FreeBSD core team member.
