Personal opinion: every half a year or so I try to make world on a box that doesn't have quite enough space for one reason or other (generally I let /usr/obj get put under the /usr partition) and so I get "clever" and go mv or rm a bunch of stuff like /usr/share/dict and /usr/share/man expecting everything to continue working.. this sort of unexpected behaviour bites, the world being buildable should have as little to do with the current box's environment as possible. Realizing that nobody is going to make this their continuing mission in life, I've grown to live with it, but I still think it bites. :-) ... JG
