Why not just leave things the way they've always been? It works just
fine. It ain't broke, so don't fix it. If people want things started
and shutdown in a particular order, let them write a script to do it
explicitly. /etc/rc.d is an ugly SysV-ism. [You should see the mess
caused here by rc.d - putting numbers in the script names so they get
executed in a particular order, then find the numbers have to be
shuffled and scripts renamed because new script foo has to run before
bar...]

If /etc/rc.d (UGH! How disgusting! .d for directories - what is this?
DOS?) is desirable, please leave /etc/rc alone and just put something
like this at the end of it where it can easily be deleted or commented
out:

	echo -n "Ugly SysV Compatibility: "
	for i in /etc/rc.d #(ugh!)
	do
		$i && echo -n $i " "
	done
	echo
