How does this correlate with the planned implementation of launchd in  
FreeBSD?

http://wikitest.freebsd.org/moin.cgi/launchd

Perhaps it is too early for you to say, but it would seem that  
launchd is a much more sophisticated system that would bring a whole  
range of benefits to FreeBSD. Is work still progressing on that? Will  
these changes to /etc/rc allow for a migration path?
