No. I'm saying that this is what would need to be done to qualify
it and it would need to be run with the base system and a series of rc
scripts in ports. In order for things to ultimately be committed,
things would need to be regression tested enough that FreeBSD
developers would be confident with the end-result. And yes, there
would need to be a conversion plan, documentation update, and the full
nine yards for whatever's done with an rc replacement, as this would
impact a lot of folks and projects.
Thanks,
