How has it been phased out??  My 5.0-RELEASE install certainly has a
/stand with the contents of:
    sh arp camcontrol cpio dhclient find fsck_ffs hostname ifconfig
    minigzip mount_nfs newfs ppp pwd rm route rtsol sed slattach test
    tunefs usbd usbdevs zcat

I've used /stand several times to recover from bad events.  I would call
it phased out or useless.  The fact that we don't update it during 'make
world' no one has felt the need until now.
