Personally I feel regretful NetBSD has to accept /etc/rc.d/, however,
it has saner approach and cleaner design than {Kxx,Sxx}.boofoowoo which
EVERYONE hates.

The original idea was solve dependency issues interlocked between
various subcompents in NetBSD.  It's particularily useful to add pkg
would require to change /etc/rc{.local} script.

Recognizing performace issue, some older hardware owners would abandon
to upgrade NetBSD into 1.5, I guess.
