I'm beginning to wonder if it isn't time to switch sysinstall to start configuring softupdates "by default" for file systems at install-time. We currently allow it to be selected, but don't enable it by default. I would propose it be turned on by default for all non-root file systems, or some other similar rule (file systems <64MB, ..). Given that this is the primary recommendation made for system performance tuning, and not only addresses performance but improved reliability, it seems to me that this would be a sensible change to introduce at some useful breaking point, and 5.0 provides a good opportunity to do that. Any objections?
