Even an MFC won't help you, in the medium-term.

e.g. via https://www.freebsd.org/security/#sup, even if the MFC made it
into 11.2, you would still have several months of supporting the old
one.  (The FreeBSD package builds are based on the oldest supported
point release from a branch.)  The current estimate for 11.2 is late June.
