Yes, if you know any buggy assertions, please remove them from FreeBSD tree.

We are not going to prove that. If you claim that some assertion is buggy,
you prove that it is buggy and happily remove it from source tree. Noone
is going to spend time proving you that 1000s of assertions are not buggy.
