My secret decoder ring is telling me the implicit message here
(along with a recent Qt5 "upgrade") is that the FreeBSD home page
explicit statement that the 11.3 and 11.4 releases of FreeBSD are
in production status is a bit of a lie.  I know I'm going to have
to upgrade to 12 sooner or later, but I just don't have a warm,
fuzzy feeling about that right now.
