The problem appeared with FreeBSD 12.0, with the introduction of lua,
and I am not the only one affected.

Before, there were no problems with the loader or installer. It is
very clear that both got worse, not better with the time.

>From millions of FreeBSD users only a handfull may need to write
programs in the loader, one can expect from them that they learn
forth if they seriously need to program the loader. Or they can
self inject lua, python or what they want, if they really cannot
learn forth.

What I hate is not lua, but the bloating process that make things worse
for the sake of bloating.

The best would be to revert the changes.
