I think this last sentence doesn't quite read correctly.  That is,
I read it as saying that "assertions and statistics gathering" is
disabled by default on -CURRENT, which isn't correct.  It also
won't be very meaningful to someone reading src.conf.5 on a stable
branch if this is MFC'd (or when it ends up in stable/13).

I think it would be best to just leave the last sentence
off completely.  The result would be that on head src.conf(5) would
say:

WITH_MALLOC_PRODUCTION

   Set to disable assertions...

And on stable src.conf(5) would say:

WITHOUT_MALLOC_PRODUCTION

   Set to enable assertions...

Just as when other defaults change across branches, the current vs
stable different is handled by the contents of src.conf.5 on each
branch.
