On a related note, I submitted this last year after some offline discussions with Tim and others: https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=build&sektion=7&apropos=0&manpath=FreeBSD+10.2-RELEASE Of course src.conf(5) is useful enough as it is, but a populated file makes sense to me, at least for crochet, since it can easily be explicitly referenced in the script. I don't think the *average* x86 server builder is concerned with removing bluetooth, floppy support, ipf from base, but I think for those with SoC and embedded hardware, it does matter. The point is, it might be worth having a fully commented, comprehensive /etc/src.conf file in place, at least for crochet. g
