Ah. Well. That's not the kind of change that gets made there. It's the kind of change that gets made on the spur of the moment in -current. Async mounts have more to do with the low level I/O subsystem than that have to do with real changes to the FS code (though I would like to see one of the debug sysctl variables in UFS replaced by a check of the async flag and *NOT* defualted to async behaviour... an that's a discussion for the FS list).
