Yes, of course. I thought that was obvious.

Agreed, that might be an appropriate clarification.

It should be included because not everyone uses the standard /etc/rc.*
hierachy. For example I have a completely custom rc which before I did
an other hack to make this issue not an issue read:
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/boot/kernel:/boot/modules
export PATH
kldload fuse
swapon -a
fsck -p
mount -rw /
mount -a
sysctl vfs.usermount=1
ntfs-3g /dev/ad4s1 /mnt/c
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald onestart
hostname aryeh-desktop.istudentunion.com
ifconfig ale0 192.168.2.2
