I intend to MFC at least some of it.  I will avoid anything that
would change how something currently works in 4.x, but I hope to
add some of the "new features".

You're seeing those due to a few previous updates which were not
MFC'ed.  When I did a quick skim of those, most of those seemed to
be cosmetic.  Again, I don't intend to MFC anything that changes
the behavior of 'ps', but I'll see what I can do about cosmetic
(aka style(9)) changes.
