I would really like to see Foundation sponsored project to bring SMBv2 and SMBv3 support in to smbfs in base instead of deprecating smbfs / CIFS. FreeBSD is the only one widely used operating system lacking support for modern SMB / CIFS versions. SMB is still widely used in desktops and servers environment for mounting shares between different OSes.
