Ah, I did misunderstand what you meant. Those sorts of
scripts/processes are unique per vendor tree; uuencoding steps could
be removed from any that have it (along with changes to our build
infrastructure). I have a subset of the vendor tree checked out
locally and none of the FreeBSD-Upgrade files I have reference
uuencoding -- but I did not check everything. Note that we already
have several vendor src trees that have verbatim binary files - for
one example, contrib/file/tests/JW07022A.mp3.testfile.

Fair point; I would leave process changes for vendor/contrib to the
individual maintainers.
