Just a nitpick: There has *always* been a dirprefs() function. What happened between 4.4-RELEASE and 4.5-RELEASE was that this function was *changed* in an attempt to speed up filesystem operations.

Aside from the directory layout question, I didn't see anything that was obviously wrong, but if there's anything specific you think should go away (or be updated), do a send-pr or drop a note to this list. (OK, I see one. "Why does make world clobber my existing installed binaries?" With the recommended buildworld/buildkernel/installworld/ installkernel upgrade process, this question doesn't make quite as much sense as it used to.) Bruce.
