OK, I see /usr/freebsd-dist as the default BSDINSTALL_DISTDIR under https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=bsdinstall&sektion=8&manpath=freebsd-release#ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLES.

Incidentally, from https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=261349#c22:

… present on the ISO …

This does not alter my feeling that it is reasonable to delist /usr/freebsd-dist/.

With usr/ described as contains the majority of user utilities and applications, the dist part of freebsd-dist/ should be enough for a curious person to assume that directory contents will relate to an application (or utility) for a FreeBSD distro/distribution.

I hesitate only because I wonder where we should draw a line with regard to pruning for what's not found in a standard installed system. Discuss under https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=261349#c25, if you like.

Thanks

On second thought, let's just keep it. There's nothing wrong with this entry.
