Wow, what a cynical move.
It's not cynical. If you put a cool-sounding option in there with a
comment that says "this will delete all of your documents," some idiot
(i.e. me) is probably going to enable it.
Parallel doesn't work correctly, and it shouldn't be enabled unless
you're looking for fun ways to break stuff.
Perhaps someone could do some performance testing on rc_parallel to
find out if it's worth fighting for as a feature.
The directive still exists, it's just been removed from the default rc.conf.
This prevents people from thinking "well, parallel is better than not
parallel, so I'm gonna enable it." I should know, most of my machines
still have it enabled and that was the extent of the research I did.
