That is correct (and expected).

Well, if you enable sshd it won't add 'sshd=' to rc.conf.local either (since
it's the default).
It's kind of expected I think. That said, I don't mind to add it in the man
page if people think it's worth it.
But if you use rcctl to *set* flags, then use it to *get* them as well and you
will see it's what you expect :-)

I have no opinion on that one. Sure it's not necessary but maybe it makes it
more obvious as a documentation. Dunno...
