Yup, great idea. The new patch [attached] permits you to set:

DAEMON_ask_timeout={0-9}[s|m|h]
and
DAEMON_ask_default=[yes|no]

in rc.conf

Default values have been put in rc.subr ("5s" and "yes")

This could be done, but at the moment I rely on the checkyesno
subroutine in rc.subr, which only accepts [yes, true, on, 1] and [no,
false, off, 0] in any combination of upper and lower case.
