It is nice to have, however, the location of this information means that
it will naturally be missed by developers adding or removing directories
to the layout, so it trends out-of-date and it is out-of-date.
The target audience for hier(7) is users and administrators. It is not
expected to be a place that programmers should go to learn about the
purposes of the different C headers provided by FreeBSD.
Program authors needing FreeBSD-specific interfaces or libraries
(#include <sys/queue.h>, for instance) will either be following a more
detailed man page, or consulting the header contents directly. Folks
targeting standardized headers (#include <sys/time.h>) will not need
hier(7) to tell them where those headers are under /usr/include.
In other words, this is more detail than necessary for this document.
I'd go as far as to say that many of the existing entries in this list
do little more than parrot the name of the directory.
With all this in mind, let's drop the maintenance burden.

It poses a maintenance burden, since much of the information is
duplicated in the src tree's README.md file. Readers who are interested
enough in learning about the structure of the src tree can download it,
or browse the README online. Have hier(7) just point them there instead.

Define a place for sysroot trees to live. This assumes they come from
the base in some way, though there's not yet a build/install/etc sysroot
target. Include the FreeBSD version so multiple verrsions can be
installed on one system (it also includes the whole uname version, so
one could, in theory, install variants like CheriBSD or whatever on the
same system as FreeBSD). Use MACHINE.MACHINE_ARCH to be consistent with
the release practices, /usr/obj and other naming conventions.

Mount the UEFI ESP on /boot/efi. No current system uses this by default, but
there are many ad-hoc schemes that do this in /efi or /esp or /uefi and adding a
new directory at the top-level would have a much higher likelihood of
collision. Document this in /etc/mtree/BSD.root.mtree and create EFIDIR and
related variables in bsd.own.mk.
