--- Comment #5 from Dan Mahoney <freebsd at gushi.org> ---
Just so I understand, does this mean that there's a chance this will appear in
an 11.1-Pn patch release, or is this a "wait for 11.2 if there is one" sort of
case?
I normally understand that we don't want kernel changes made within a
release-cycle, but these are fairly minor changes (after all, full on options
IPSEC is in -GENERIC) and it's pretty clear by the inclusion of the module that
this support was intended to be there.
Failing that, might there be a possibility of breaking out the ipsec_support
option to a loadable that applies to -GENERIC as well? Perhaps something that
could be compiled and loaded alongside base, even if not distributed with it?
Updating to -STABLE on production systems is even more irritating than a custom
kernel.
