Careful there.....one major reason I use FreeBSD is that, compared
with the other operating systems I can use, major breakages are rare.
I expect the policy that prevents you from deploying the most
featureful OS available is there to avoid the late-night pain
required to run the latest and greatest features in production.
It would be a shame if stability were lost in a rush for new
features. If smarter people than I feel that SACK should be
backported, great. However, I for one greatly appreciate the
commitments to stability and POLA that are so much a part of FreeBSD.
