Are you talking about se's patches to make softdep a mount option, or my newfs patch to optionally enable softdep during newfs? The former isn't something you can just drop in. You'd have to decide if softdep should be the default. If softdep is made the default, then those who don't use it for a reason have to add "nosoftdep" to the appropriate lines in /etc/fstab. If softdep isn't made the default, then those who do use softdep have to add "softdep" to the appropriate lines to /etc/fstab. Either way, it isn't something that can silently (i.e., without a heads up or something like that) go in. AFAIK there's no problem with the latter (my newfs patch) except that it will be made obsolete when the former goes in.
