It is probably time again to see if actual users exist.  ibcs2 has wasted
a few hours of my time over the last few months so keeping it does have
a non-zero cost.

This comment doesn't make much sense. iBCS is the Intel Binary
Compatibility Standard, an obsolete ABI for i386 Unixes such as Xenix,
SCO, and UnixWare.  Cloudabi is, in a sense, taking Capsicum to its
logical extreme and totally unrelated.
