Don't be ridiculous.

I'm one of the people that pushed for rc.d, because I needed it. I
have had to hack in rc.d's under OSes for years to deal with the needs
of automated management of hundreds of machines. I wrote rcorder
because I thought the System V rc.d mechanism was braindead in the way
it ordered things. That alone should tell you we aren't trying to
follow System V in some blind way. I do not accept runlevels or
support them, and I suspect few enough people do that they'll never be
in NetBSD.
