Agreed for the general FreeBSD case (x86 platforms, arm embedded, etc).

Outside of the general case, are there any instances where it wouldn't make 
sense to install these tools?

I find moused to be a less helpful tool on my text only console VMs, but my use 
case seems likes the minority, not the majority.

The other tools seem really useful though when dealing with fun terminal 
emulation issues, but does it make sense to install these tools on a device 
like a tablet for instance where the user interface is X11?

Thanks!
