    Awesome feedback Bruce! Could you please submit a PR with all of
the generic recommendations you provided so they're added to the
FreeBSD dev handbook/style(9)/or another appropriate "public" area and
this data won't be lost in the "sands of time"/mailing list archives?
    I'll modify my patch and resubmit sometime soon.
Thanks!
