I don't see a cost to keeping the program around. There are probably some
slight use cases for it, and there are some slight costs to removing it.
It doesn't have to be everything to everybody: It can be itself, nothing
more and nothing less.
I guess I just don't see the problem with keeping it.
I agree. If we're concerned about someone running the program again by
accident then the following can be placed at the end of bsdinstall/auto:
chmod -x /usr/sbin/bsdinstall
The man page then can specify that the executable bit is off by default,
why it is off by default, and possibly specify the command to turn it on
again.
