Thanks for that data point.  This is another nudge in that direction for 
FreeBSD.

If more distributions cherry-pick, I will probably revert the other 
changes in FreeBSD main.  I am watching this discussion closely.

Ideally a consensus will soon result in a 2021c release that we all 
agree to merge as-is.  This cherry-picking business is a lot of work for 
all of us.  It's also difficult to automate and therefore prone to 
errors.
