While there have been a lot of commits to this tree, there have been only
minor improvements to this in the FreeBSD since 2013 when merges from
PC-BSD stopped. The rest are housekeeping. I think that it's bitrotted
enough to retire. I suspect it doesn't even work anymore. Everybody I know
is using the other installer in the tree anyway.
