would anybody ever think that a image released by fbsd would contain any other 
defaults than repos by same origin? unsure... maybe if only to not clash with 
any local repo names? are there serious problems people confusing all this 
while still being able to use the system? or are there other reasons i don't 
see here. otherwise we could add ridiculous amounts of "FreeBSD"'s all over the 
system to make sure everybody truly gets where they are
