The rc_fast_and_loose variable allowed rc(8) to start services by sourcing them into rc's own shell environment. Normally, each rc service script is started by being sourced into its own subshell instead. The feature was meant to speed up rc(8) by avoiding the extra forking necessary to spawn subshells. In practice, the feature has been broken for a long time now. One of the reasons is that some rc service scripts call the exit builtin to return non-zero error codes, which not only terminates the service subshell but also rc(8) when rc_fast_and_loose is enabled. For example, a system running any of the supported FreeBSD releases with rc_fast_and_loose=yes would abort rc(8) as early as rc.d/hostid, due to an "exit 0". Fixing rc_fast_and_loose support would require rewriting some rc scripts to support being sourced directly into rc(8) process. This would muddy the code base and also would prove difficult to maintain long term as this is simply not how rc(8) users write scripts. The potential performance benefits are unlikely to be significant even for use cases such as Morello under qemu. Instead, remove support for rc_fast_and_loose completely from rc(8) and inform users about the change.

FreeBSD Source:
This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.
FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory. Additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information.
The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree. See build(7), config(8), FreeBSD handbook on building userland, and Handbook for kernels for more information, including setting make(1) variables.
For information on the CPU architectures and platforms supported by FreeBSD, see the FreeBSD website's Platforms page.
