Not quite sure how much has been discussed publically, but we don't
currently have the manpower to handle lots of complicated parts,
and it seems that softdep, in its current state, needs the hand of
Kirk McKusick to work.
So the current strategy has been to make the moving parts simpler

where OpenBSD is mentioned.
However the default /etc/fstab does not make use of it.
