Well, just my two cents: There are other (IMHO) legitmiate uses for rc.local
_except_ starting daemons. For example I (mis)use it to tweak flashcache
settings after booting is complete or on my Raspberry Pi (used DLNA media
renderer) to play a jingle to indicate "boot complete, you may now
interact"....
