Eventually.  In practice the default should be the lowest supported 
FreeBSD and in practice it should never be set to the unstable version. 
There are probably less than 5 instances of using arguments.  It's 
pretty rare for the s/w to be checking the value of __FreeBSD__ and 
really rare for that same s/w to already support FreeBSD 12.

I was thinking about bringing in 12 when 9 falls off or 12 is released, 
whichever comes first.  That should be okay.
