I would much prefer to keep ports out of /etc (or out of the root file
system in general). I agree with the point made by several others that
the clean separation of base system and local mods is one of the great
strengths of FreeBSD.

Since /etc/rc.d/local (or similar) has been proposed:

- Why cannot /usr/local/etc/rc.d be used with rcorder if /etc/rc.d/local
is okay?

- If the argument is that /usr/local is not available: Okay, but in that
case you won't be able to start the ports anyway, since they are located
somewhere under /usr/local.
