It seems to come up every now and then.  Frankly, I'd like to see them
disabled by default, as they break install onto a variety of non-FFS file
systems, in jail(), and cause a lot of POLA.  And they offer no real
benefit in the default install (arguably you might be able to configure
securelevels to do what they claim, but it will require a lot more thank
sprinkling noschg on a few kernel modules).
