A quick follow-up on this - there were a couple of fairly significant
"golang" issues that were due to FreeBSD kernel bugs, and were
addressed recently:
- https://github.com/golang/go/issues/46272
- https://github.com/zrepl/zrepl/issues/343

A search for open golang issues labeled OS-FreeBSD turns up 22 issues:
https://github.com/golang/go/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3AOS-FreeBSD+

A quick look turned up a couple that warrant some investigation but
nothing of exceptional concern. If go users have input on specific
bugs of note or use cases that can help guide the investigation or
prioritization I'm happy to have that feedback.
