Unfortunately, a lot of the BSDs have utilities that REQUIRE being able 
to extract kernel symbols and/or read the symbol table. E.g. netstat, 
vmstat, etc. Would this prevent stripping of the kernel in Dragonfly? I 
agree that the system executables can be stripped for a release (no 
barriers I can think of).
