Actually, if I am reinstalling I really do want to newfs the system
partitions because that's how I can guarantee that no old cruft is left
over. I generally do not want to newfs things like /home. I think my use
case here is fairly typical.

There should at minimum be an option to newfs the partitions one is
installing the OS to. Ideally that option should default to whatever
sysinstall does now (which IIRC is 'on').
