I wanted it because of actually using sysinstall's custom install scripting 
ability such that /stand is different on different types of machines in my 
environment.  diskless wasn't the only argument against this but you didn't 
want to listen because in your mind having both /rescue and /stand was the 
end of civilization as we know it.  I don't care enough to argue about this 
forever though, I can just adjust my scripts to explicitly write things to 
somewhere else besides /stand (maybe have to generate a script that later 
generates a file or something) for things that I want to preserve.
