So you remove functionality that others depend on simply because you don't understand it and / or don't need it yourself? This is FreeBSD, not DougBSD.

It's not the kind of thing that lends itself well to being formalized in that manner. This is precisely why we have rc.early and rc.local: so people who have special (perhaps one-off) needs can do special (perhaps one-off) things without jumping through too many hoops.
