A possible way of doing so can be removing numerous 10-year old
variants and versions from tools/, along with no longer functional
bits like fbsdboot.exe.  I'm afraid including a program that stopped
working several years ago into the distribution won't encourage
anyone to fix it.  But excuse me, discussing that would be an
off-topic here.
