My recent commit is not about "being better than Crochet", it is about
providing an in-tree build method (for RE purposes) that can be
reproduced.  For people that do not need to do pristine-environment,
reproducible builds, I encourage the use of Crochet.

I personally fail to see the reasoning behind this, but I'm looking at
things from an entirely different perspective, I suppose.  While it's
great that your tools provide a mechanism to produce a build as
non-root, FreeBSD releases are built as the root user.
