How has it been phased out?? My 5.0-RELEASE install certainly has a
/stand with the contents of:
sh arp camcontrol cpio dhclient find fsck_ffs hostname ifconfig
minigzip mount_nfs newfs ppp pwd rm route rtsol sed slattach test
tunefs usbd usbdevs zcat
I've used /stand several times to recover from bad events. I would call
it phased out or useless. The fact that we don't update it during 'make
world' no one has felt the need until now.
