Releng say they dropped jigdo due to overwhelming indifference (the
download numbers for the jigdo images were tiny).
When releng agreed to do jigdo, the proponents of it promised better tooling in the near
future to create the jigdo data. That tooling was never delivered, and the process to
create jigdo data continues to be manual, arduous, error prone, and still difficult for
clients to manage.
While I wasn't part of the decision to drop it, I wholly support the decision.
