It is rediculous to ask to completely reinstall everything each time a new release comes out. Ppl have more on their mind than disklabel their disks again to support yet another view on the disks (even if its a big improvement) I would be very upset if I'd have to backup 7 gigs again just to upgrade and wait for 2 whole days for restore to finish (if I'm lucky enough that dump does break again like it does all the time nowadays, see freebsd-questions). -Guido
