I agree that having RFC3522 is a good thing. However there is a political problem with the author of the rfc3522 of DFBSD. He is also still a FreeBSD committer, but for political reasons he has very much refrained from doing any FreeBSD work for about a year now. About six or seven month ago I had a port of rfc3522 ready in my tree and wanted to commit it. He vetoed me and said he would do it by himself. Yet for those political reasons he wont do any work on FreeBSD including this. The only way to solve this is that either someone simply committs it (this is BSD licensed code after all) and pisses him off, or someone convinces him to do it himself (which I don't think he will).
