. /etc/skel is used by Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and Solaris for skeleton=
 files; FreeBSD uses /usr/share/skel instead. Should the path be linked=
 to /usr/share/skel or deleted (potential patch here: https://people.fr=
eebsd.org/~ngie/remove-etc-skel.patch )?

Removing /etc/skel you mean?  It's empty, but /usr/share/skel is not em=
pty.
Does anything outside of the base system use /etc/skel or /usr/share/sk=
el?
