IMO it doesn't hurt to move the toolchain out of src, as long as we have a port, e.g. freebsd/toolchain-for-version-X (or whatever we want to call it), which is buildable on all supported release we want to support the build of FreeBSD-X. As we support to build FreeBSD also on Linux and OS-X, we would also need to have support to make it not too hard to build said toolchain on those systems. And I go even further, I would not only mind to install a port for a compiler, I would also be ok to install a port to install a tool which handles the build (replacing make in src). I would be ok to run "pkg install/update X Y Z" to be able to do "cd /usr/src; do_build freebsd && do_install freebsd". I fully agree that it should be easy to build the base system, to do what we do today, and I think is would be beneficial if apart from "make installworld" if we could also update via "pkg upgrade". I think we could provide what we provide currently while at the same time reap some benefits from having those parts managed in ports. IMO there are a lot of benefits with such an approach, be it system hardening, compile time, and more. I would not want to move everything to ports (toolchain yes, build system yes, now that we switched to DMA: sendmail yes, openssl/kerberos no -> too much integration with other parts), but I would not mind having a ports-like approach for src separate from ports (I don't know if pkgbase fits this or not, I haven't looked at it, but if I can define a pkg repo for base and populate it from e.g. "make pkgrepo DESTDIR=xxx" or similar and then just need to run pkg upgrade that would be nice).
