>Description:
	It appears there are some pieces in RELENG_7 which still contain
	references to DTrace.  These pieces were added ~20 months ago, which
	would've been when -CURRENT was essentially 7.0-RELEASE.  I believe
	DTrace was "planned" for RELENG_7 at that time, but as we all know
	it didn't make it.  So I'm guessing someone simply forgot to remove
	the pieces:

		src/etc/mtree/BSD.usr.dist
		src/share/man/man7/hier.7

	The mtree results in users on RELENG_7 (present-day) having a
	directory called /usr/lib/dtrace that serves no purpose.

	hier(7) mentions this directory as well.
>How-To-Repeat:
	n/a
>Fix:
	Remove applicable lines?  :-)
