Because of ... things I'd really rather not even think about, let alone
consider discussing ... there are ceratin machines at $work that are thus
configured. (Yes, I'm working on repairing this self-inflicted wound.)
The only issue of which I'm aware is that if one wishes to use
mfiutil(8), it better be one that was built from 8.3 source; an 8.2
mfiutil run on an 8.3 kernel will panic the box consistently.
