I've seen quite a few of these cases recently, and now it's clear that "make
makeplist" is to blame.

It has never been designed to work "out of the box" which is why the first line
is "don't trust this output and hand-edit".  I think people are just removing
the first line and calling it a day.

In particular, make makeplist has been too conservative with @dirrmtry and now
@dir and people are just accepting it.  That makes it clear what is really
going on and this tool is essentially abused.

But well, now you know and hopefully will not get bitten by that again.

As for poudriere, the phrase "access to" is kind of curious since it's just
something you install.  What normally prevents it's use is running freebsd on a
modest VM rather than real hardware (the allocated resources are too low for
modest VMs).  It's not a service or anything like that, so the word "access" is
throwing me.  (to be clear, installing poudriere cost nothing and is very easy,
but building jails and running it is heavy resource-wise)
