29d0d30996 Update the default newfs block and fragment sizes from 8192/1024 to
16384/2048.

Following recent discussions on the -arch mailing list, involving dillon
and mckusick, this change parallels the one made over a decade ago when
the default was bumped up from 4096/512.

This should provide significant performance improvements for most
folks, less significant performance losses for a few folks and
wasted space lost to large fragments for many folks.

For discussion, please see the following thread in the -arch archive:

Subject: Using a larger block size on large filesystems

The discussion ceases to be relevant when the issue of partitioning
schemes is raised.

ba1e7b8577 Long ago, there was just /etc/daily. Then /etc/security was split out
of /etc/daily. Some time later, /etc/daily became a set of periodic(8)
scripts. Now, this evolution continues, and /etc/security has been
broken into periodic(8) scripts to make local customization easier and
more maintainable.

f1d0f5e5bf o Reflect changed default such that keepalives are always enabled by
default now.  Discuss why that's good.  Note that there are still
  some situations where turning it off may be advantageous, including
  situations where there are network outages and it's desirable to
  have TCP sessions last beyond the outage.

31c6261195 Moderate the recommendation that TCP keepalives always be turned on;
in some environments, this may result in the early termination of
legitimate TCP sessions during temporary network outages.  However,
maintain a strong recommendation that this be used when many network
clients are dialup.
