The linuxulator (the Linux emulation/translation layer in FreeBSD) has recently undergone a major overhaul. Many of FreeBSD's userbase relies on the linuxulator to provide things like the Adobe Flash Player browser plugin, linux browsers, and certain linux-centric tasks. The linuxulator provides a set of security challenges. It is yet another attack vector. The core HardenedBSD team would like to completely remove the linuxulator from HardenedBSD's codebase.

What would be removed:

1. linuxulator and its dependents
2. linprocfs (pending investigation, this might not be removed)
3. packages that require the linuxulator

Should the linuxulator be removed?
