10 This makes more sense to me as it's in the direction that seems more
11 logical -- make "net" be provided instantly, rather than forcibly
12 changing the dependency on each (or all) "net"-using service(s).

25 rc_modules_provide="net" ? rc_localmount_provide="net" ? There are a
26 number of required services that could be used to assign "net" to..

28 (And i would think that this specification should occur in rc.conf
29 rather than a file in /etc/conf.d , simply because it's something (in
30 the case of NFS root, etc) that's akin to rc_depend_strict or rc_sys
31 in terms of its impact on the whole openrc configuration)
