Note that we are still very interested in having the BSD user
refactoring and improvements upstream, and are not interested in
indefinitely carrying around a fork. We do need to figure out how to
effectively restart the effort to upstream the work.

The bsd-user work is stable and usable. We use it to cross-build more
than 20,000 packages of third-party software in the FreeBSD ports
collection.
