FYI, freebsd-current at freebsd.org and current at freebsd.org are two aliases
for the same list. It is not needed to cc both.

That's correct, although the one I committed was the one I used at

open to them.

Defaulting to using the chroot structure is a good change, and suitable
for the vast majority of users. If you want something different, the
knobs are there for you to twist. :)
