Back in March there was discussion about having 2 copies of this in the system, 1 in src/release and the other in src/release/picobsd/build. John Baldwin removed it from src/release saying it was no longer needed for releases. Now, it is being removed completely from the system since picobsd no longer uses it. Is there a replacement way to embed a memory filesystem into the kernel? (Besides the dd hack that picobsd is using). Are consumers of this, like the PowerPC porting effort, still needing this functionality? Will future ports want this? I don't believe it should be totally removed from the system. Hooking it into usr.sbin would be more appropriate. I'm hesitant to move it to tools or ports due to fears of bitrot.
