This should be "Not needed anymore by picobsd". 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.
