Hi Shawn,

I don't think documenting that makes much sense in general.  It would
be extremely burdensome to fully document and quickly become
desynchronized from the code.  It's comparable to OpenBSD pledging
differently in different paths of programs.

To me, "for now," suggests that this is perhaps a temporary workaround
and maybe we can do something better in the future.

Take care,
Conrad

P.S., When do you plan to update your Easy Feature Comparison page to
reflect that FreeBSD has the same procfs and "boot hardening" as HBSD?
