I'm assuming the default config will do builds unprivileged.  I think

Bob's default config.lua is written such that as soon as you enable build_user then it will be used automatically with all the necessary setup, and if not then it won't be.

So this shouldn't affect existing users, but will mean new users will automatically get unprivileged builds, and existing users can simply change their pkgsrc.build_user variable if they so wish.
