Looking at your repository I see you are still active and merging
patches from other users.

Could you summarize how your tree differs from the upstream one?
I guess your work could benefit other users, stucked at the current
broken state of bsd-user.

Some users who reported they switched to the Unicorn Engine [*], I
haven't looked at it yet, since I found this thread first, while reading
on deprecating unsupported code (another old thread):

Thanks,

Phil.
