[snip] FreeBSD is more than just a kernel, you know. I don't think we should artificially limit ourselves by your imagination. Obviously Alex wants to get libh to work as FreeBSD's installer before meeting the world's needs, so I think a fully intregrated (lib, usr.sbin) approach is probably best. If at a latter time, Alex feels libh's goals would be better served outside the resources of the FreeBSD project, we can certainly start vendor importing it then.
