The OpenBSD stance never changed. If the configuration isn't created by the install script, you are on your own. Maybe one developer put some words in about ffs, but I am sure the idea was to protect NFS diskless which cannot be mounted rw. I do not see the point behind diff after diff trying to add scripting for bizzare configurations that basically none of our users configure. Those admins are fully aware that when they make weird configuration changes, they are on their own, and they have to maintain their own diffs. I do not agree with this continual pushiness you have to find weird special cases and propose scripting changes to deal with it. OpenBSD's prime principle is SIMPLICITY, even when it means there are limited operations for operation, and you are going way out of bounds. Take a step back.
