The project turned away from these around FreeBSD 4 or so, with bde leading
the charge with many coming to agree with him. It was formalized in style.9
around FreeBSD 8 or so. This change reflects that history and is the status

It might be better to use it, but that needs to be more widely discussed
and style.9 and this updated after that. If you feel strongly, then arch@
is likely the next step...
