Of course, from:

Articles/CustomLogin.html>
Important: The use of boostrap daemons is deprecated and should be avoided
entirely. Launching of daemons through this process is currently limited to
some Apple-specific programs and may be removed or eliminated in a future
release of Mac OS X. If you need to launch daemons, use launchd. If you need
to launch daemons on versions of Mac OS X prior to 10.4, use a startup item.
This is deprecating things back in time. We made this facility for you to
use, told you to use it, but now, you shouldn't have used it then.
Later,
