Digging in my "private list", I can see the following:
PR 21017 (mtree) definitely needs to be MFCed. mtree is broken
in -STABLE regarding symlinks due to a typo / wrongly passed
argument. -CURRENT was corrected in mid September. Leaving this
unfixed could turn out as a showstopper where tripwire like IDS's
fail (and abort their job!) at the very first symlink.
PR 21990 (incorrect exec(3) manpage) could need some attention
since I feel this discrepancy to be somewhat security related
while it misinforms people (that's why I felt like categorizing
it as "serious"). Just tell me if it's the doc or the source
that's wrong (I hope the doc is) and I will provide a patch.
This should speed up the closing of this PR.
PR 20202 (ipf invoked from rc.network) would be a good candidate
for an MFC. I understand quite a number of FreeBSD users have
ipf running (either instead of ipfw or even besides it). This
patch was committed in -CURRENT on October 6th and I haven't seen
_any_ negative reaction but quite some demand for something like
this in the release (and I raised the question quite a few times
in public whether this extension still has something missing or
does its good intensions in the wrong and maybe dangerous way, I
could even have bothered or annoyed some of you). I - speaking
as the originator - feel this PR to be complete, correct and
implemented cleanly. Feel free to disagree, but unless I hear
something different I will keep thinking I did it OK :) and
others could estimate this feature being in the release.
