In all fairness, since the SOFTUPDATES comments in LINT point you to
read the README, and this ask you to

(paraphrased)

	"edit /etc/rc and disable update"

I suggest that following the guidelines closely will prove challenging :-)

Also, some commentary on the advisability of enabling softupdates on /
for large single-partition configs would be useful: since it demands 
unmounted fs to apply tunefs to the device, this is "challenging" at
first glance.

cheers
