Part of the problem there is a weakness in config that I've threatened
to fix on more than one occasion.  We do not have a way to have options
default to on and let people turn the option off.  Negative options
("options NOFOO") are a poor substitute.  In the past, a couple of things
were unifdefed that might have been better served as being 'default to on'
options or drivers.

This of course is ignoring the issue of geom vs the disklabel code.
