"etc/rc.d is quite sophisticated for what it does, but the paint on /etc/rc is obvious"

"Too many things need to know explicitly about dependencies"

"Even the Linux die-hards have essentially grasped the necessity of systemd"

Talk is by Jordan Hubbard, FreeBSD co-founder (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_Hubbard)

Jordan is pushing this into FreeNAS/TrueNAS and NextBSD. He would love to see this happen in FreeBSD as well, but from what I've seen it isn't moving anywhere.
