Sure, you can always send-pr something that bothers you.  In this case
though, IMHO, you should wait a bit.

Some of the rc.d scripts you listed above have a `REQUIRE: LOGIN' line.
This will create a dependency problem if combined with a line that
contains `BEFORE: LOGIN', since a script cannot depend on LOGIN to start
but start before LOGIN.

The scripts that depend on LOGIN and are listed above are:

    /etc/rc.d/syscons:# REQUIRE: LOGIN usbd
    /etc/rc.d/sshd:# REQUIRE: LOGIN
    /etc/rc.d/sendmail:# REQUIRE: LOGIN
    /etc/rc.d/archdep:# REQUIRE: LOGIN
    /etc/rc.d/abi:# REQUIRE: LOGIN
    /etc/rc.d/cron:# REQUIRE: LOGIN
    /etc/rc.d/devfs:# REQUIRE: LOGIN
    /etc/rc.d/jail:# REQUIRE: LOGIN
    /etc/rc.d/pcvt:# REQUIRE: LOGIN
    /etc/rc.d/othermta:# REQUIRE: LOGIN
    /etc/rc.d/msgs:# REQUIRE: LOGIN
    /etc/rc.d/mixer:# REQUIRE: LOGIN usbd
    /etc/rc.d/inetd:# REQUIRE: DAEMON LOGIN
