employ a more generic solution, and use it in the individual rc.d scripts
that also have an $rc_quiet test:
1. Add check_startmsgs() to rc.subr.
2. In the rc.d scripts that use rc_quiet (and rc.subr) substitute
variations of [ -z "$rc_quiet" ] with check_startmsgs
3. In savecore add a trailing '.' to the end of the message to make it
more consistent with other scripts.
4. In newsyslog remove a : before the terminal '.' since we do not expect
there to be anything printed out in between to make it more consistent.
5. In the following scripts change "quotes" to 'quotes' where no variables
exist in the message: savecore pf newsyslog
6. In the following scripts substitute if/then/fi for the simpler (and
more consistent) check_startmsgs &&: faith stf
7. In the following scripts separate the "Starting foo:" from the terminal
'.' to make them more consistent: moused hostname pf
8. In nfsclient move the message to its own line to avoid a style bug
9. In pf rc_quiet does not apply to the _stop method, so remove the
test there.
10. In motd add 'quotes' around the terminal '.' for consistency
allow them to start after netif. There were too many problems reported
with this change in the short period of time that it lived in HEAD, and
we are too late in the release cycle to properly shake it out.
IMO the issue of having the firewalls up before the network is still a
valid concern, particularly for pf whose default state is wide open.
However properly solving this issue is going to take some investment
on the part of the people who actually use those tools.
This is not a strict reversion of all the changes for r193198 since it
also included some simplification of the BEFORE/REQUIRE logic which is
still valid for ipfilter and ip6fw.
and takes over mountcritlocal's role as the early / late divider. This
makes it far easier to add rc scripts which need to run early, such as a
startup script for zfs, which is right around the corner.
This change should be a no-op; I have verified that the only change in
rcorder's output is the insertion of FILESYSTEMS immediately after
mountcritlocal.

...because as yar@ points out: "[...] you were relying on evil
side-effects of the variable being named *_program. hose side-effect
have been eliminated since rc.subr rev. 1.42. [...] The point is that
the default "status" method is for rc.d scripts that handle startup and
shutdown of conventional daemons, and not for custom tasks like the pf
case."
The change is still valid in RELENG_6 (and still doesn't have to be
backed out) as long as rc.subr:r1.42 is not MFC'ed to RELENG_6, too.

Start before routing for better system protection.
(pf used to start late during system boot, after
many a network daemon have started already, which
sucked from security POV.)
Remark: For maximum security, pf should start before
netif, but it would create a dependency loop because
pfsync has to start after netif, yet before pf.
