Hi again,
	I did some digging around and found a past discussion started by =
remko on the topic of removing /usr/share/skel 8 years ago: =
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-arch/2007-November/007162.html=
 . The discussion didn=E2=80=99t yield anything (unfortunately) as far =
as whether or not the directory should be removed (it=E2=80=99s empty =
right now). /etc/skel is used by Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and Solaris for =
skeleton files; FreeBSD uses /usr/share/skel instead. Should the path be =
linked to /usr/share/skel or deleted (potential patch here: =
https://people.freebsd.org/~ngie/remove-etc-skel.patch )?
Thanks!
