No, the keep it simple principle is precisely add two supplementary
directories because:
	1) This does not add any overhead;

	2) This eases upgrades: /etc/rc.d/ is reserved for NetBSD (in the
	other mail you mention that you have _changed_ base and etc.tgz so
	to get rid of postinstall(8) running in /etc/rc.d/. If things are
	great as they are now why did you do that?

	3) This eases administration because with one glance I can
	immediately see what are additions;

	4) This eases usage because this will enforce documenting variables
	setting for added daemons, especially for pkgsrc users to  have all
	the documentation in one file, =E0 la /etc/defaults/rc.conf, namely
	a /etc/rc.defaults.pkgsrc

Keep it simple is keep it the simplest so to have everything in hand
(french meaning of maintenance). If less directories are simpler, why do
we still have a Unix file system hierarchy, and why not put everything
flat simply under / ;)
