Actually, it is really a min(72, whenever_someone_gets_around_to_it)
grace period.  The average is many years.  I'm still waiting for removal
of Attics created by the July 13 ports reorganization.  I remember this
because it added 1MB of junk that filled up my cvs partition.

BTW, `tunefs -p' bogusly requires write access.
