Well, since you asked, yes, I do.  Longer answer is that this check does not
cost too much, gives the upstream correct idea and pointers where to look if
they (hopefully) want to merge the patch, and thus will probably go away
naturally when the time comes.

I really don't like FreeBSD turning into Windows in a sense how pushy we've
recently started to act towards our users on forcing them to upgrade their
perfectly fine FreeBSD installations. :-(
