re: Dropping edlabel in favour of 'disklabel -i'

[matthew green]

Way back before disklabel grew the -i option edlabel provided a
relatively easy way to interactively edit a disklabel.
Now that disklabel does provide -i, (and in fact the usage is easier
than edlabel), would anyone object to dropping edlabel, especially
given that edlabel was only ever built for a subset of ports.

i don't think this is a good idea:

text data bss dec hex filename
9613 1016 600 11229 2bdd /sbin/edlabel
38654 904 10120 49678 c20e /sbin/disklabel

one of the reasons edlabel exists was to to be smaller for media.

I think that is an excellent suggestion.

So, new question - does anyone have any objections to relegating
edlabel to being used in extreme memory constrained install
situations, and not shipped with the normal userland?

OK by me.
