My intuition (hope) is that 9.1 is past the point of no return on builds =
and so that boat has been missed; however, my plan is to MFC the =
auditdistd user to stable/8 and stable/9 after the 3-day MFC timeout. If =
Ken thinks builds have yet to start on the final 9.1 image, however, =
then I'm happy to merge to there as well.

Brooks Davis has a work-in-progress port of the NetBSD mtree (etc) to =
FreeBSD that will hopefully be merged soon, and allow improved =
cross-install experiences. This is something 9.1 users will benefit from =
as it can be done entirely in the cross-build/install tools rather than =
requiring host changes. In the longer term, these changes are necessary =
to not only allow more diverse cross-builds on FreeBSD, but also to =
allow builds from other OS's, where "add FreeBSD's auditdistd user" =
makes no sense at all.
