Speaking of ports: What is your imagination that the new rcd should be plugged into ports?

Like, once committed into base, should ports remain with “traditional” rc.d files until
the rcd is the default and then switch to UCL files? Or are there any plans to introduce
any “parallel” mechanisms to deliver UCL an rc.d files? If yes, will there be any preference
of UCL over rc.d?

Sorry for too many questions :-)
