I do not have anything against that rework ... it should just stay in FreeBSD-CURRENT line as long as its not ready to be used in production - I would even understand if if would be 'forced' into STABLE/RELEASE but only with the right tools for users/sysadmins to actually CATCH these issues and report them - so they can be fixed properly - but not - nothing like that happens - everything is pushed into STABLE and then as a consequence into RELEASE - hoping that maybe in several years the next commits fill fix it ... or not.

When FreeBSD project abandoned the POLA principle?
