sorry for being late with those:

1) implement/port beadm equivalent from Solaris/IlumosOS? Make 
freebsd-update process more reversible by using proper boot environments 
and using ZFS snapshots. May be good to also kind of hook freebsd-update 
and pkg update/upgrade together when required by user to make whole 
system updates more transactional.

2) not sure, but OpenBSD's pf got some as I would guess Oracle sponsored 
SMP work and enhancements. Isn't it a time to sync with it?

3) FreeBSD/KDE user hurting: baloo file indexer service is killing 
FreeBSD 13 when user directory have more than just few thousands of 
files (think few git clones of few repos). The service (baloo) crashes a 
lot on FreeBSD 14 so it's not that hurting experience as it is on 
FreeBSD 13 where it completely freeze system. See

Thanks,
Karel
