The only logic i can see is that you want to force existing users to move to this "awesome" configurations schema but in the same time you say "don't do it because your old rc.conf still works"
I want to give the best possible advice to new users, and I want to alert current users to possible problems. I don't want to force anyone to do anything. All that changed was the default file and the advice given in the manpage, no functionality was or will be dropped. I'm not insisting that the new rc.conf must be exactly like the one in testing, but please give arguments on a case-by-case basis, and if you suggest adding back variables that I have strongly recommended against please argue why my recommendations are wrong.
You won't make me do this kind of transition to move to systemd compatibility.
Ok. Then don't. We are committed to support all current and previous options forever (and if we can't we will alert users to this). -t
