Direct support for rc.local has already been "deprecated". Somewhere I read
something from Lennart and it was clear that he has an almost religious
hatred for doing things 'the old way', so much so that rc.local is not
'desired'.
I got the same impression. If it worked, reliably, for decades, it's not
desired any more.
