I booted openSUSE Tumbleweed last night on my ASUS ROG Zenith Extreme 
board for the first time in a while and updated it to the latest 
revision. This morning I went to boot into FreeBSD and the "FreeBSD" 
boot entry had disappeared! Fortunately I have rEFInd installed so I 
could select the "UEFI OS" entry and get back into FreeBSD, but that's 
another reason we need to be really careful about relying too heavily on 
the boot manager variables.
