i dislike this change. freebsd-base(7) is about using packages, not about building them. if this belongs anywhere, it's in build(7).

btw, i would also oppose adding this to build(7). manpages are not bug trackers. but if it belongs anywhere, it's there.

That's not what mdoc(7) says or what we do in the wild:

BUGS
Known bugs, limitations, and work-arounds should be described in this
section.

Because people look in the manual for how to do things. So having an authoritative "We didn't build this part yet" is helpful.
