Is current crochet development happening within FreeBSD sectors or is
there an upstream?

It could be good to have an option in config.sh "FREEBSD_BUILD_TXZ=Y"
to build base.txz, etc in the image. (potentially useful in creating
jails)
ie, like, for example,

freebsd_buildtxz( ) {
mkdir usr/dist
/usr/bin/tar -c --exclude *.symbols --exclude "boot/kernel/*"
--exclude "usr/dist/*" -f usr/dist/base.txz .
}

Thanks,
