It was noted we're close to running out of numbers we can use before we
hit code freeze and the branch for the release.  Since we're entering
code slush at the end of today in theory all changes that would warrant
a bump in __FreeBSD_version are supposed to be done.  But it wouldn't
surprise me if we have one or two or so things that come along between
now and when we hit code freeze and the branch.  So we need to be a bit
conservative with this.  Please be sure to coordinate anything that
might require a bump in __FreeBSD_version with re@ from now on.  If it
turns out things do come along that require bumps we'll need to "batch
them up" having one bump represent several changes.

Thanks.
