Since Amazon provides NTP servers within their network, this should
be far superior to using the default NTP pools; and since the service
is provided by Amazon there's very little risk in enabling it by
default. (If someone is able to compromise Amazon's NTP servers and
exploit them to attack EC2 instances, they would almost certainly be
able to compromise EC2 instances even without ntpd running...)

Relnotes: EC2 instances now keep their clocks synchronized using
the Amazon Time Sync Service (aka. NTP).
EC2 instances are normally launched with an SSH public key specified,
which is then used for logging in (by default, as 'ec2-user'). Having
ChallengeResponseAuthentication enabled (as FreeBSD's default sshd_config
does) has no functional effect in a new EC2 instance, since you can't log
in using a password until a password has been set -- but having this
enabled results in alerts from automated scanning tools which can detect
that sshd advertises support for keyboard-interactive logins (since they
can't detect that accounts have no password set).
EC2 users who want to use passwords to log in to their instances will need
to set 'ChallengeResponseAuthentication yes' in FreeBSD 12.0 and later.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
Initially, only tag files that use BSD 4-Clause "Original" license.

This changes the build OBJDIR from the older style of /usr/obj/<srcdir> for
native builds, and /usr/obj/<target>.<target_arch>/<srcdir> for cross builds to
a new simpler format of /usr/obj/<srcdir>/<target>.<target_arch>. This
new format is used regardless of cross or native build. It allows
easier management of multiple source tree object directories.
The UNIFIED_OBJDIR option will be removed and its feature made permanent
for the 12.0 release.

keys to be provided via IAM Roles; users are encouraged to be very careful
in using this functionality due to the inherent vulnerability in the idea

The original change was dealing with the build wanting to run a newer
install(1) that was not yet installed. The solution to look into the private
legacy directory of the existing build conflicts with 2 upcoming features: a
changed OBJDIR format, and splitting the host tools into arch-dependent and
arch-independent directories. Rather than hardcoding and changing the paths in
this script, just let kernel-toolchain do the work, while disabling much of the
meat. With -j15 this finishes in 25 seconds for me and 117 seconds with -j1.
All that is really needed is bootstrap-tools, but the system is not currently
written in a way that all previous dependent steps will have ran. The previous
steps, such as _worldtmp, are being reworked and renamed and so cannot be
relied upon to be right.

There's not much practical difference as far as install media is
concerned but newfs creates UFSv2 by default and it is sensible to use
the contemporary UFS version.
I also intend to change makefs to create UFSv2 by default (to match
newfs) so we'll want make-memstick.sh to be explicit, rather than
relying on the host tool's default.

here the build would already fail if Makefile.fat did not provide
