   I don't understand the problem. Now that you know about the behavior,
   you can either edit your copy of /etc/daily or not mount things on
   /scratch. Whats the big deal?

the "big deal" is that netbsd deleted something it shouldn't have.

what about the other people who this happens to ?  i've been using
netbsd for over 2 years now and i wasn't aware of it -- i'd have
been extremely pissed off if i didn't realise that netbsd was
going to delete things in /scratch and i used it.

it would be excusable (but still _wrong_, to me) if it was documented
in heir(7) -- but it isn't.

personally, i think we should:
	1. change it to _only_ work for local file systems.
	2. document the behavriour in hier(7).
	3. somehow, let people know (more than hier(7)).

(3) is less important, but, i think the other 2 are non-negotiable.
