I don't like this change. While you say there's a way to make it less verbose, after only merging the changes to rc.conf, dmesg output will get interleaved with initscripts output during boot, which looks horrible: http://imgur.com/a/wbG9z

Dave explained to me on IRC that the loglevel=[1-8] or quiet options can be passed to the kernel to control this.
It would make sense to default to, say, loglevel=4 (that's what quiet sets) if no verbosity-related options are passed to the kernel.
So, would this be done in initscripts or initramfs? The 'quiet' parameter isn't some big secret.
Another possible issue:
$ runlevel unknown
That's possibly a huge issue. When is that visible?
On another machine without the initscripts package from [testing] the output differs:
$ runlevel N 5
