What happened to /sys/boot/forth/ folder in 11.2 version?

Since I am interested in compiling FreeBSD from the sources, I am just wondering what happened to /sys/boot/forth/ folder on version 11.2 (checking Github)

Regards
Fabricio.
 
You do realize that Subversion holds the official source repository? Anyway, this is the first time I heard of this directory; it's not a thing on amd64 or i386 targets (specifying context with these kinds of questions really helps ;) ).

Anyway, /usr/src/stand/forth still exists making me wonder if something really happened here. Also because I see no mention of any changes in /usr/src/UPDATING (though that doesn't have to proof anything). You may want to check: /usr/share/examples/bootforth, that might be able to shed some light on this.
 
Didn't I read that they are replacing forth with Lua for the bootloader?
Maybe not full replacement right now but I bet they are plumbing it in.

I thought that /stand directory looked familiar. That's where Warner likes to shuffles things off to.

In 11, FORTH will be the default, and Lua will be built by default,
but users will have to do something to use it. 12, both FORTH and Lua will
be built and installed, with Lua as default (barring unforeseen
complications). Once the co-existence stuff goes in, I imagine we'll make
the switch to Lua by default shortly after that. In 13, FORTH will be
removed unless there's a really really compelling case made to keep it.
