And is this something that can be MFC'd? I realise it's quite a fundamental change to the startup system, but if it made it in to 4.7 as an alternative (so the default remains the same) it would give people the chance to try it out without needing to run -current. It also makes it more likely to be covered in the Handbook. . .

I vigorously oppose making it the default in 4.x at any time... we already did one major overhaul of /etc/rc* in RELENG_4, and I don't think we should put them through that again. However, if we can get it polished sufficiently I wouldn't object necessarily to having it in there as an option; BUT, I seriously doubt it'd get to that point in time to be useful.

The only MFC candidate I'd like to see is /etc/rc.subr. This would allow the ports collection to use the facilities provided by rcng while not making everything dependent on whether you are using CURRENT or STABLE.

Agreed on that point, we'll blow up the rest of the bridges when we get to them.

Is a version bump a good idea?

Version of what?
