:// kirk has convinsing arguments against it and "He's the man"
: ^^^^^^^^^

:I got your point, but can you list these arguments ? If it's only "he
:wants it this way, god only knows why", it's allright, but if there's
:a technical reason, I'd like to know.

Well, I can think of one right off the bat -- Kirk's been wanting to make
fsck more and more softupdates-aware. This means that softupates really
should be a filesystem flag and not a mount option. To avoid mistakes.
I think the eventual goal is to be able to mount a softupdates partition
either immediately or with only minimal cleanup and then finish cleaning
it up in the background, live.
