    For only 400 scripts there should not be any problem with glob
    expansion (unless all the scripts have extremely long filenames.)
    For 4000 scripts I would not be surprised if there were problems with
    glob expansion, but that should not happen for a mere 400 scripts.

    By my reading of rc.subr, that is only true for scripts in /etc/rc.d/
    The scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ are started by /etc/rc.d/localpkg and
    are always run in a subshell.

    Old style scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ should work just the same as
    before.
