Right now, nothing. What mckusick was saying was that he didn't want to have a "field day" where everyone would have to put "softdep" for their filesystems in /etc/fstab. Yes, this isn't happening now since ps's patches are backwards-compatible, but unless you always want to keep that backwards-compatibility (which isn't bad, IMO), everyone will eventually have to do it. I've no opinion either way; I'm simply restating what I saw mckusick agree to.
