The / solution is wrong. For instance:

[root@piratinga root]# ls -l /usr/local/sbin/ospfd
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  471392 Dec  1 00:58 /usr/local/sbin/ospfd*
[root@piratinga root]# ls -l /usr/local/sbin/bgpd
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  691952 Dec  1 00:58 /usr/local/sbin/bgpd*

And these are dynamically linked.

Not to mention moving them to / would break the /usr/local paradigm.

And all this because... people don't want to break fs mounting in local 
and remote?

I saw break it, and have routing run after local. If your /usr is 
remote, then either you'll copy routed (or whatever you use) to a local 
disk, or you won't be using it.

People, let's face it. There *ARE* things you want to be run *after* 
local fs mount and *before* remote fs mount. And we are hurting 
ourselves in a few places just because we haven't admitted to it.

btw, someone mentioned a freebsd-rc list, but I found no such list. 
Mispelling? Not freebsd.org list? Delusions?
