My (perhaps mistaken) impression was that cached was going to be
enabled by default soon in HEAD, and at very least long before
7.0-RELEASE.  I wasn't planning on MFCing the /etc/services update
until cached was enabled by default in RELENG_6.

If there's a significant reason why people running HEAD would not
want to turn cached on, I'll certainly reconsider my plans here.
