It is -- and this needs to become settable. Bear in mind, however, that 
the default partition layout is also different. If you select the auto 
option, only one file system is made, so there are no non-root file systems.

That's certainly something to think about, although I'll defer whether 
that is wise to others. It's a little bit of a pain on the 
implementation side, since you can't turn it on from newfs, but that 
isn't a serious obstacle.
