I'd say that the "official best The top level is supposed to do very little, so that the files in /usr/share/mk are good enough. The point I'm concerned about is that when -I is used to force use of src/share/*.mk for building `make', it may give a conflicting set of .mk files - sys.mk from /usr/share/mk and everything else source-relative. At least one other bug has crept in: the source-relative files are not used at all for bootstrapping mtree.
