>Description:
It is often needed to provide flags for watchdogd (custom sleep and timeout values), but there's no mention of watchdogd_flags in defaults/rc.conf. Though watchdogd_flags is automatically respected by rc system, it is unapparent for users, so I suggest to add a line to defaults/rc.conf
