I don't recall if I mentioned this or not, but I don't think we should
list all 40 files in /etc/rc.d/ in the rcNG section.  It's just going
to generate silly PRs when new files are added.  It doesn't really
matter or add anything to the text.  It's just filler.  I suggest we
invite users to type ls on their own system and maybe list a few files
followed by '...'.  Attempting to list all, even after qualifying it
with something like "at the time of this writing", is I think in
general a bad idea unless it is really necessary for clarify.

I think this new section could in general do with some more
wordsmithing.  I'll take another look at it in 24 hours if noone beats
me to it.
