we aren't removing support for distsets in the build infrastructure. we simply won't provide distsets on freebsd.org, and installing FreeBSD via distsets will not be supported. however, you can continue to build distsets for your own use. this will be supported on a "best effort" basis (i.e., if it breaks, please send a patch) but several important downstream users including CHERI still depend on this, so it shouldn't break too badly.
