That would be my first use case, honestly, in order to start testing this. I can't move to -CURRENT now, but I would absolutely *love* to get my hands on this code. Pretty please? :)

Also, to test on bare iron, is it not enough to replace /etc/rc with something that does "exec rcd"? For the almost-truly-adventureous (or: those of us not brave enough to run current..)?

All the thumbs up. Seriously.
