Yes, I agree. I would like to note that the current NetBSD code looks like:
if (keys & F_SIZE &&
(flavor != F_NETBSD6 || S_ISREG(p->fts_statp->st_mode)))
which means that F_NETBSD6 did not print this, and we recently changed
it to print the size for compatibility with F_FREEBSD9... We also made
the default F_MTREE format to print the size. So I guess the thing to
do is change the code to:
if (keys & F_SIZE &&
(flavor == F_FREEBSD9 || S_ISREG(p->fts_statp->st_mode)))
