The branch main has been updated by emaste: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=fc2a3ec6fe6aa00d9be0c293c38e0ef9ac7e2b64 commit fc2a3ec6fe6aa00d9be0c293c38e0ef9ac7e2b64 Author: Ed Maste <emaste@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2024-11-01 16:51:01 +0000 Commit: Ed Maste <emaste@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2024-11-02 15:22:24 +0000 syscons: add deprecation notice syscons(4) is not compatible with UEFI, does not support UTF-8, and is Giant-locked. There is no specific timeline yet for removing it, but support for the Giant lock is expected to go away in one or two major release cycles. Add a deprecation notice to avoid surprises, and help ensure that any material deficiencies in vt(4) become known.
