I'll add to the notes: When -jN for 1<N is in use and USE_TMPFS=all (or
other large tmpfs usage selections) it can be appropriate to list large
tmpfs packages in MUTUALLY_EXCLUSIVE_BUILD_PACKAGES= in a poudriere.conf
file.

Example large-scale USE_TMPFS=all tmpfs usage have included (data not
from recent activity) . . .
