busybox[static] was added to @system as a system recovery tool.
If the system is in such a state that a static shell is needed for
recovery, it is likely that remote access is also broken, and the
sysadmin will need to log into a console. At that point, they could boot
from recovery media anyway.
Also, stage3 tarballs are often used to build containers, where having
a recovery tool installed is completely pointless.
