It seems to me that it would be a lot more interesting to have the
ports/build frameworks set up to accomodate building "these things"
out of the src/ tree.

In other words, I believe that picobsd needs to come out of src/release
and am not in favor of repeating its history.   This is not a strike against
these variants however;  I sincerely believe that they would be more actively
maintained as "ports" and also permit wider participation than the current
situation does.

I prototyped an "outside the tree" variant once and even got it to boot but
ran into other problems related to the severe breakage that has been present
with PicoBSD for a long time now.

ports/itsybsd anyone?  :-)
