| Eventually.  In practice the default should be the lowest supported
| FreeBSD and in practice it should never be set to the unstable version.
| There are probably less than 5 instances of using arguments.  It's pretty
| rare for the s/w to be checking the value of __FreeBSD__ and really rare
| for that same s/w to already support FreeBSD 12.

| I was thinking about bringing in 12 when 9 falls off or 12 is released,

9 falls of in 4 months, so, it'll be first :-)
