--- Comment #2 from David Chisnall <theraven at FreeBSD.org> ---
I think that a better solution to this would be more frequent upstream imports
into base (which should become a lot easier to push to users once we have
packaged base).  Making libc++ a private library would mean that it would not
be possible for users to compile C++ programs without installing a port, which
would be a major regression.  If we did that, then there's little point having
a C++ compiler in the base system at all.

Libc++ aims to be backwards binary compatible, and so there shouldn't be any
POLA violations from installing a newer one.
