--- Comment #2 from Mateusz Piotrowski <0mp at FreeBSD.org> ---
Please do not merge those patches just yet. Although the patches are fine if
one's building from source it is not a good solution for prebuilt packages
installable via pkg. FreeBSD machines building packages for pkg are going to
run 11.1 for at least 2 months, which results in the legacy _limits behavior in
rc scripts. As a result packages installed via pkg will always try to use the
legacy behavior even if you're running a system with the new _limits behavior
(11-STABLE, 12-CURRENT and soon 11.2).

The solution is to detect which _limits behavior to use during runtime. We are
working on this together with kevans at .
