From this and past threads I conclude that using SoftUpdates is a bit
less safe than not using it (when using other defaults), which made me
wince when I read in the release announcement:
...sysinstall(8) now enables Soft Updates (a strategy for improving
both performance and reliability of on-disk data structures) for new
filesystems it creates...
It's true, I guess, but will mislead many readers who don't know better
(but maybe that's a small number by now).
