For everyone concerned about size, remember that the goal for 11.0-RELEASE is to use pkg for the base system, which makes it much easier to:

- Install some debug info later, on demand.
- Split debug info into separate packages so only the relevant bits can be installed when debugging a particular problem.

I probably don't want debug info for everything to be installed on my systems by default and upgraded all of the time, but I really do want to be able to just run a single pkg ins command to get the symbols for whatever it is that I'm experiencing problems with.
