"RC init" is sort of a loaded term, I'd just call out FreeBSD
directly.

Either use substitution for {{ flavor }} both here and in the systemd
service, or in neither. Personally I'd go for the latter, since it's
not really buying us much.

The version in the official documentation does this a little
differently... I guess the difference is that in their case the
gitlab-runner application is running as the gitlab user, wereas in
ours the daemon is running as root but is instructed to execute
workloads as the gitlab user. The latter seems fine, as that's what
happens on Linux as well, but have you fully considered the security
implications?
