This feature is still not really perfect, at least not perfect enought.
Use squid on a system where it takes longer for its daemon to exist
(like my router, where the media is a intel SSD, 4GB memory and a AMD
Athlon 2x on the AM3 socket) and you will see lots of outputs from
openrc about all those scripts waiting for it to end...

So maybe when that feature is ready to be enabled by default?
