Here's one reason you might sometimes not want it: space of
deleted files isn't recovered until the delayed updates have
been written out. This is particularly apparent if you want
to upgrade to 3.9 on a system where /usr is barely large
enough (-:
Been there too. 256MB CF card on soekris 4801.
Much trouble also came from upgrading a running system, though, which
made the old libs and other binaries, albeit unlinked, occupy a lot of
precious disk space.
So - unpacking failed, but only after fsck'ing up the login libs. Thank
g*d I kept that serial cable and bsd.rd handy. :)
