I like the idea of reducing diffs between the BSDs, but it looks like merging all of NetBSD's changes to dump will require some more discussion, while this--the nodump propagation--seems to be something almost everybody agrees on. Also, my patch isn't terribly long, and tries to avoid adding unnecessary deltas; just whatever's needed to properly implement the feature. I've posted a URL to the patch along with a man page entry that I forgot to post last time in my reply to Warner.
