Nono. Now, the standard setting are now in /etc/defaults/rc.conf.
You only need to put stuff in /etc/rc.conf if you need to override
the defaults. See the shipped /etc/rc.conf as a beginning template,
and /etc/defaults/rc.conf for available stuff.

BTW, though I opposed this /etc/defaults/* thing at first, I found
it really cute. Makes /etc/ merging a bit less painful, as well
as making better distinction between system defaults and local config.
It was really positive change, as well as the rc.d mechanism (thanks Luke!).
