"No bugs" is a bit of a stretch. I use softdeps on the machines I use to
build pkgsrc binaries, but I do not use them on any of my servers.

Frankly, they're fine when you have one or two serial tasks running, but
do a few things that would thrash a drive heavily and softdeps will dump.

softdeps definitely needs to be made more stable.
