FYI, I just MFC'ed this change to RELENG_6. I do not plan to MFC it to RELENG_5. I believe this will help avoid the symptoms of the most common user errors that we see complaints about on the mailing list, and my personal mailbox.
I tested the changes thoroughly on both HEAD and RELENG_6, so I do not anticipate any problems, but please consider this a mini-heads up.

Attempt to take one bullet out of the foot-shooting gun by silently ignoring errors when sourcing rc.conf* files. The most common error occurs when users put a command of some sort into those files. (ifconfig is a popular choice) 2. Make the file rotation logic simpler by starting one down from the "top" of the list, rather than at the top. 3. Try to make file rotation more secure by calling unlink(1) on all new file names before rotating an old file to the new name, rather than merely calling 'rm -f' on any files that exceed the number of files to save.
