I posted this to arch_at_ [1] and between that and this thread, among others on current_at_, the overwhelming majority of responses have been to get rid of /stand. I'm not sure I understand your argument for leaving /stand as part of the root filesystem; other than as you say your 250gb drives don't mind the extra 3.5mb. In my opinion it's useless for both diskless and regular systems, with the exception of 2% of it's space. It's not updated as part of world, which means no bug fixes get populated to it. It's a crunchgen binary which means trying to fix small bugs in single programs either means rebuilding the binary or replacing that hardlink with an individual binary.
