I like my rc.d boot messages :(

So I upgraded a test box today to HEAD and got my first taste of the trimmed 
down boot messages.  I can appreciate the slimness of them.  However, 
personally I actually find the detail useful (at least sometimes).  
Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be a knob I can flip to actually get 
all the messages back as /etc/rc unconditionally uses 'quietstart' rather 
than 'start'.  Am I the only one who finds it useful to know which daemon is 
making my startup hang for an extra second?
