This is not about sysinstall. This is about /etc/fstab, /etc/rc.conf
and any other places where device names are used. There are large
numbers of machines that still have the compatibility stuff. If you
want to increse the already insane level of pain to upgrade to 5.0,
then go ahead and break them.
I really don't like your beligerent "I'm right, you are wrong, so
flake off" attitude on this. Provide justification for the change, or
go fix the breakage. So far you've just asserted it is right without
any sort of justification, which is completely unacceptible.
