--- Comment #2 from Kubilay Kocak <koobs at FreeBSD.org> ---
In addition to an example, and perhaps as a extension step (or separate task),
it would be nice to see the standard build commands/steps include an option to
use a BE. 

Perhaps as a trivial starter, make install{kernel,world} ... BOOTENV=YES or
equivalently simple toggle env var, that uses one and only one named-be for
that current/next build/install cycle.

This would dramatically lower barrier to entry, make it trivial for people to
play/test with, and encourage feedback/bug reports to improve
robustness/reliability.

Happy to create a separate task for this if it's a non-trivial
extension/wrapper around the example documentation that's being proposed here.
