Why doesn't reports of uses on machines running FreeBSD 10/11 count? I don't
get it. 12.0 isn't even out yet, and most of our users are probably not
running CURRENT. As I wrote in an earlier email, I have lots of these cards
running in production - and most of them are on FreeBSD 11. They'll
likely be upgraded to 12.1 in the future (but probably not 12.0 - I usually
skip .0 releases). But doing the jump to CURRENT/12 now is just out of the
question - these are production systems after all.
