Sorry for the cross-post, but assume this is relevant to both lists.
It's regarding the default setting of net.inet.ip.random_id to 0
This disclosure has caused a bit of a stir on the Tor-relays list
starting with this post:

FreeBSD is one of the OS's not implementing random IP IDs by default. I
know OpenBSD has for a long while.
I vaguely remember someone referring to some specific application
compatibility with IP ID randomness in the distant past... Or should it
just default to '1'?
