You did not quote my reference to to my submittal:

See: https://github.com/freebsd/poudriere/issues/1247
END QUOTE
So I'd already done as you requested by submitting a
notice quoting the Email exchange's text and
referencing my list message about the details.
But Bryan D. will likely need to contact you and/or

including if he wants to know how likely it is that
the interface (naming) will be stable going forward:
Not something for me to make judgments about.
