In the case of pseudo targets, I'm of the opinion that the BEFORE statements are more consistent. I'm not all that thrilled with them in general, but IMO inconsistent of use BEFORE and REQUIRE is the biggest problem. I don't see any logical reason for syslogd to be required. kldload doesn't call syslog, I seriously double linux ldconfig does, and the abi script will always return success. > One quick meta-issue if I can hijack Xin's thread for a minute, now that we > are including the local scripts in the overall rcorder, and as more ports > are converted to take advantage of this, we will see more of these instances > where the stuff in the base that always "just worked" before will need to be > twiddled.
