Softdeps with ffs (in current) is supposed to never require fsck'ing,
bugs excepted. You could still lose information, of course, but the
filesystem remains in a consistent state (allegedly). For what it's
worth, I enabled softdeps on my laptop's /usr. After running out of
juice during a compile, fsck runs on the next start, but it doesn't
complain about the usual "unreferenced file"'s. YMMV.
