I wouldn't mind, but leave it for a month or so in -current first.

Btw., this now requires a sweep over the ports tree, so those ports
that install a /usr/local/etc/rc.d/*.sh file can be converted to
distinguish between `start' and `stop' arguments.  /etc/rc used to
call these scripts with `start' for quite some time already, but the
scripts usually ignore it (AFAIK).  Once this is done, rc.shutdown
could implement the complementary calls to /etc/rc.
