I am concerned that the current plans appear to have both mpsafetty
and usb4bsd committed at virtually the same time.  With the best will
in the world, it's still likely that one or both imports will have
some rough edges.  IMHO, there should be a reasonable period between
major kernel subsystem upheavals to allow things to stabilise.  Having
both a new USB stack and a new TTY subsystem would appear to make it
unnecessarily difficult to identify the cause of USB serial port
issues.
