>  The mechanism to set service process resource limits in rc.conf(5)
>  (${name}_limits) has changed.
>
>  Many databases implement their own ways of resource control.  A popular
>  implementation is defining ${name}_limits to be used and configured via
>  rc.conf(5), which defaults to "NO".  If set to "YES", however, limits(1) is
>  run before starting a database server service.
>
>  The new mechanism runs limits(1) by default and uses the ${name}_limits
>  variable to let the user pass extra flags to the limits(1) command.  The new
>  mechanism is not backward compatible as neither "YES" nor "NO" are valid
>  limits(1) flags.  As a result the service may refuse to start with an error
>  message similar to "limits: NO: No such file or directory".  See rc.subr(8)
>  for details.
>
>  For example, the equivalence of the old "mongod_limits='YES'" configuration
>  is now "mongod_limits='-U mongodb'".
>
>  This change affects systems running 12-CURRENT.
