The reason for this was that if you the root file system was low on space, the delay between VOP_UNLINK and actual space being reclaimed when running with soft- updates could cause 'make installworld' or 'make installkernel' to fail. When softupdates were first introduced, the default size for the root file system in sysinstall was 32 MB. I don't know if the delete / create race has been fixed, but the default size for the root file system is now 256 MB, and a default installation uses less than a quarter of it.
