Are you sure? I cannot see where this should be present in 5-STABLE
(RELENG_5)? Pawel added it just recently to CURRENT (HEAD)'s
network.subr in order to support the ifnet_rename() function. 5-STABLE's
network.subr doesn't contain this. I think you are intermixing this
with the fact that if list_net_interfaces() is called _without any_
arguments, it (still) does a similar thing than the removed "all". This
functionality was not touched here. Pawel just removed the explicit
"all" feature which had output a little bit more than the current
no-argument usage.
