In the light of the actual "force" against this commit: perhaps it would be ok for all involved parties to only compile this code in based upon a kernel option... In my POV: people which don't know enough about this topic would IMHO not be concerned about this code, and people which know enough to have a reason to compile or not compile this code into the kernel should also know enough about FreeBSD to not regard this code as a lack of professionalism (and see it as what it is: there are people which enjoy to invest their time into FreeBSD... and this is what makes FreeBSD what it is). We don't have to add it to the release notes if we don't want to add it.
