I still find it necessary on occasion to create new UFS filesystems, because
there are occasional cases where ZFS simply doesn't work correctly. (Usable
default ACLs is one; deterministic ordering of results from opendir()
is another.)

I really don't want to end up in a situation where vxvm+vxfs ends up being
used because it's the only alternative to ZFS.
