Flags are not security since root will bypass everything.
While some may beg for anti-footshooting, but
where might that cry end up... chflags -Rhx schg / .
Nor should freebsd fill that role when local admins
know best for and given their own individual environments.
If local tendency is to run around as root and
disrupt your filesystems so bad that even these...
> ./libexec/ld-elf.so.1
> ./libexec/ld-elf32.so.1
... get routinely wrecked, then you have bigger local
problems to work on than freebsd can help you with :)

nb: /var/empty is an ssh make install-time thing,
that mtree might have picked up, but sshd itself
doesn't check or require schg [theatre] there.

tar should probably get an extended verbose mode format
that lists all metadata that is extractable to disk, such as flags.
