Re: Old /usr/bin/* files (and more) still around on modern main, long updated via pkgbase: looks like having FreeBSD-src installed and doing make check-old and the like are appropriate?

Overall: you continue to treat the FreeBSD mailing lists as your
personal blog and only half-listen to what actual FreeBSD developers
tell you.

Anyone converting from a non-default personal build of the system should
use packages built with their personal non-default options.  They can
thereafter switch to packages built with other options if they like, but
the initial conversion to pkgbase should be done using packages that
match what is already installed.
