How about having the ability to override the standard scripts entirely? For
example: the system has a script (or a dependancy, whatever it's called)
named sshd, and I have a custom script named sshd, so rc.subr chooses my
script beacause it's obviously far more hip - or something along those
lines. Does that sound like a reasonable idea?
