there is one other argument - why removing something that is fine?

and once again - i do keep only /usr/src/sys on most machines.
and update it WHEN i decide to my own way.

Is doing something your own way instead of "the only right" (which 
actually results in more load to FreeBSD.org servers) bad now?

i always though unix is flexible and there is no "the only right" way.
