I might be completely out of order here but, as demonstrated by the recent (and now corrected) breakage in bsd.ports.mk, we CAN control the behaviour of mtree at install time via something like MTREE_ARGS. So, if we think that -L is better at install time due to what was discussed at length on these lists, we just DO NOT make -L the default, but set the corresponding MTREE_ARGS at install time. Andrey gets what he thinks is most secure, the compatibility issue is sorted (if it really existed in the first place), and everyone's happy...
