I think I missed that suggestion (there came a point where I stopped
paying much attention to this thread except to provide what little info
I garnered with those experiments last year).

So you mean something like entries in defaults/rc.conf, a default one
for most systems, and one that has a set of commands good for a
limited-power system, so that someone could easily choose it in their
rc.conf with a line such as
  
  initrandom_kickstart_cmd=initrandom_slowcpu_kickstart_cmd

That seems like a pretty good idea to me.  Provide both a "full control
to the admin" knob and a serving suggestion.
