That's an odd definition of "forever", there. NetBSD gained its rc.d system at the end of 2000, with the release of NetBSD 1.5. FreeBSD started porting work in 2001, and that carried on through 2002. FreeBSD 5.0 with rc.d was released in 2003. OpenBSD didn't get the rc.d system until version 4.9, released in 2011. Is just 3 years ago "forever" in World Wide Web time, now? If so, does that make the 11-year gap between NetBSD and OpenBSD "almost quadruple forever"? (-:
