Already done (-CURRENT only). I've had requests (notably from Yan
Koum) to backport it to -STABLE, but I won't do it so close to a
release.

I don't consider that much of a problem, except in cases where
individual scripts / options produce output which breaks the line
(this is mostly a problem with ports). I wouldn't mind the changes you
suggest, but I don't care enough to actually go ahead and do it.
One thing I'd like very much, though, would be to have the output of
fsck -p logged somehow - but since we don't have anything mounted rw
when fsck runs, it's a bit hard to log to disk. You could of course
do something like this:
fsck_output="$(/sbin/fsck -p)"
/sbin/mount -at nonfs
echo "${fsck_output}" >/var/run/fsck.boot
but then you wouldn't be able to see the output while it runs. The
only solution I can think of is the following:
fsck_output="$(/sbin/fsck -p | /bin/tee /dev/console)"
/sbin/mount -at nonfs
echo "${fsck_output}" >/var/run/fsck.boot
but I don't expect people to be happy about moving tee(1) from
/usr/bin to /bin.
