Just a comment...

Maybe not, or don't do that.  /stand is still helpful if base
distribution is NOT installed, and only the resort for the early stage
of installation.  We may use /rescue directory for that, but it is
larger than current /stand directory, hard to putting it onto a floppy
(yes we have a chance to do that if we disables floppy installation.)

In theory, we can simply do "rm -rf /stand", but it is not enough to
say goodbye to /stand directory -- sysinstall(8) assumes that the
filefile is sitting on /stand/help directory (or sysinstall's source
code directory, but it should not be there if a user doesn't extract
source tree).  But it can be easily fixed as you imagined :-)
