Having RTFS, it looks to me like 'ls -W' doesn't work on -stable simply because -stable's version of the fts library doesn't know about whiteout. The alternatives are either to fix -stable's fts library, or to undocument the -W option. It seems to me that the latter is TRT because I have a hunch that the description of the -W switch in the man page was MFCed by mistake during a pre- release MFC run. Since unionfs doesn't work anyway (and isn't likely to get fixed any time soon), I see no point in keeping this PR open.
