I would sure like to rely on this being the case, as I routinely
remove anything from the system [s]bin directories that are not
timestamped with the installworld date. I just _assumed_ that was
proper to ensure that stale files are not left lingering after code
has been moved/removed. Is this behaviour being changed for some
reason? If it is, or if anyone is thinking about making installworld
use -C everywhere, please don't.
One notable exception to this seems to be /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1
which uses -C for some reason. You don't want to remove _that_ by
mistake :).
