Who will be using this?

4	Off-topic/bikeshed, an idea for the future, I wrote a similar comment in another review. Here we are importing thousands lines of code to know only the value of OSNAME. Paradoxically it is not used by bsdconfig so we could move OSNAME="FreeBSD" to bsdinstall. Maybe in bsdinstall/startbsdinstall or a new file bsdinstall/customization. It could be easier to document and change for users than to have a variable in an unrelated bsdconfig file.

I don't have any particular user in mind. It was originally started by Netgate. However, I can imagine that any product that uses a FreeBSD customized installer like pfsense, opnsense, etc. might fight that useful. Or actually, anything that wants to brand FreeBSD.
