    I think I'm the only one who is really against making /bin and /sbin
    dynamic.  I feel kinda silly standing on top of the hill holding up
    the red flag :-(.

    I really hate the concept of a /rescue.  I could live with a nullfs
    overloading of /bin and /sbin, but so far nobody (including I) has
    thought up a good clean way to do it and still have the safety of
    static binaries in single-user mode.
