That would be easier if there were a single daemon. As it is, there are
multiple daemons, and if I remember correctly there was a caveat suggesting
that the main daemon (I assume) be allowed to settle down before the others
started. How to do this when using run_rc_command for each daemon isn't
obvious to me at the outset. Doing it with the funky "almost the old way"
that I've got now would be easier, but less "correct," I'd think.

Probably the correct thing is to just let it take its time starting. The
issue isn't one that impacts regular usage - only startup time, which
shouldn't probably be a big enough factor to drive random changes.
