--- Comment #6 from Ben Woods <woodsb02@freebsd.org> ---
Hi Christer,

Now that phase 3 upstream support is now finished for 2018.3, can I ask what
you would like to do with this bug?
https://www.saltstack.com/product-support-lifecycle/

>From a user's point of view, its always nice if you can just keep doing "pkg
upgrade", and not have to worry about versions. Am I correct in saying this
patch would require the following manual steps from users to upgrade between
versions?
# pkg remove py37-salt20183
# pkg install py37-salt20192

Given salt masters and minions should generally be kept in sync, it might m=
ake
sense for salt to have separate packages in this case, and give the sysadmin
fine-grained control over the salt versions being run (using the pkg comman=
ds
above).

ng-salt
"
Upgrading Salt

When upgrading Salt, the master(s) should always be upgraded first. Backward
compatibility for minions running newer versions of salt than their masters=
 is
not guaranteed.

Whenever possible, backward compatibility between new masters and old minio=
ns
will be preserved. Generally, the only exception to this policy is in case =
of a
security vulnerability.
