Correction, sorry:


"The base group now contains the systemd-sysvcompat package. This means
that all new installations will boot with systemd by default.

As some packages still lack native systemd units, users can install
initscripts and use the DAEMONS array in /etc/rc.conf to start services
using the legacy rc.d scripts.

This change does not affect existing installations. For the time being,
the initscripts and sysvinit packages remain available from our
repositories."
