Please do.  If I wasn't quite so delirious and distracted I'd try to do 
it myself.

If you update /sbin/mount at the same time, it's a no-op.  I got bitten 
by the two different "dedicated" disk types issue though; that hurt.  
The fix is still being tested in -current, but I haven't heard any 
complaints about it, so I was planning to bring it over tonight.

I think it was my turn to be bitten by a "this is simple and innocouous 
and will reduce world ugliness" change.  8(
