--- Comment #5 from Dan Mahoney <freebsd@gushi.org> ---
Just so I understand, does this mean that there's a chance this will appear=
 in
an 11.1-Pn patch release, or is this a "wait for 11.2 if there is one" sort=
 of
case?

I normally understand that we don't want kernel changes made within a
release-cycle, but these are fairly minor changes (after all, full on optio=
ns
IPSEC is in -GENERIC) and it's pretty clear by the inclusion of the module =
that
this support was intended to be there.

Failing that, might there be a possibility of breaking out the ipsec_support
option to a loadable that applies to -GENERIC as well?  Perhaps something t=
hat
could be compiled and loaded alongside base, even if not distributed with i=
t?

Updating to -STABLE on production systems is even more irritating than a cu=
stom
kernel.
