Some time working with binary oriented software systems have teach me 
that simple changes may become harder when size and numbers grow up. I 
think this may be even harder with a non-binary oriented system like 
ports.

But this doesn't solve the real problem.  We've lost a reference model 
about rc and the interaction with the base system and ports.

- some kinda of style for ports/system rc scripts
- some docs about keywords and stage support
- some kinda of timeline model
...

I think that this is more or less out there, but not in a strict 
document that may guide for the change to FreeBSD-6.1
