: Just thought of something: this definitely violates POLA.

Not if you are used to compiling NetBSD/OpenBSD kernels.  If you are,
then FreeBSD's stuff violates POLA.  But NetBSD/OpenBSD violates POLA
because they add arch, which hasn't historically been part of BSD.

Personally, I like the NetBSD/OpenBSD approach, with or without the
extra arch dir.
