Yes.  Based on the newsgroups it is required for FreeBSD 4.x systems ( and
also apparently for NetBSD ).  They are currently re-working things for 5.x
( where there will be an /etc/init.d/ among other things ).

This was done because on FreeBSD, The init scripts (from what I can tell)
require the .sh extension. 

I'll verify this.

This is at best a silly "patch".  At worst it is a horror.

There are literally dozens of such scripts all over everywhere.  And, the 
impact of renaming them will extend into the heart of heartbeat.

There is to my knowledge no reason to do this anywhere at all - the sole 
exception being *maybe* init scripts on *BSD OSes - for reasons of
convention.

No UNIX system ever existing required shell scripts to end in .sh.
