:I got your point, but can you list these arguments ?  If it's only "he

:a technical reason, I'd like to know.

    Well, I can think of one right off the bat -- Kirk's been wanting to make
    fsck more and more softupdates-aware.  This means that softupates really
    should be a filesystem flag and not a mount option.  To avoid mistakes.
    I think the eventual goal is to be able to mount a softupdates partition
    either immediately or with only minimal cleanup and then finish cleaning
    it up in the background, live.
