The following reply was made to PR kern/154850; it has been noted by GNATS.

According to new rc subsystem (check the /etc/network.subr) where vlans are created - they're all using dots in ifnames. Also, function get_if_var() already has mentioned code for the replacing ". - / +" to "_". So mentioned patch will not break anything, even users ngctl scripts, since that users just can not use dots there by design. Thank you.
