My take on this:  If we make it look like rc.d, it should be *called*
rc.d.  I learned how to administer my NetBSD system by buying a copy
of Nemeth/Snyder/Seebass (sp?) and digging in.  If we institute some
oddball system that someone with a copy of Nemeth/Snyder/Seebass or
whatever can't learn how to use, then he/she/it *WILL USE SOMETHING
ELSE*.

On the basis of such little things are choices made.  I use NetBSD
instead of FreeBSD because in September/October 1993, NetBSD worked
with my Gateway 2K's oddball keyboard and FreeBSD didn't.
