Because that's the way sysinstall does things, because my /var and /var/spool are relatively insignificant, compared to the news spool, and because I never noticed or cared :-) The amount of work I put into perfecting configurations is directly proportional to the size of the problem I perceive it to be. Solaria (SunOS 4.1) takes forever to check its filesystems, even though it's got 1/10th the disk that news does, so I put a lot more effort into making sure that parallelism is well used there. News blasts through its filesystem checks (except for /nov which takes a while) at a hellish pace. ;-) ...
