- some FreeBSD project related files, like:
bsd-family-tree.dot, committers-*.dot, organization.dot
These would better be part of the documentation.
BTW, on 12.x they are out of date:

I think we've never bothered merging those to older stable branches
because there's not really any point. It might be worth doing so just
before a release or something but there's very little benefit.
- development(?) related files, like:
pci_vendors, scsi_modes, usb_hid_usages, usbdevs, windrv_stub.c
I don't know if these files are used during build-/runtime
E.g. pci_vendors is used by pciconf(8) and windrv_stub.c is used by
ndiscvt(8). I'm sure the others are used by similar utilities that
escape my memory.
- some files which are used during (build-?/)runtime:
magic, magic.mgc, termcap, termcap.db Shouldn't these be in a more
specific place? They are pretty static, so the "var" part in /var/db
does not fit,
but services.db is located there, too.
The magic* files are used by file(1). See termcap(5) for the others.
- is the fonts folder in base, or did some port create it? I'm not
sure.
Hah. I like the comment in hier(7) about this directory. :-)
