I am not seeing the issue.

In addition to my older laptop, I have been tracking head. stable/13,
and stable/12 on a newer laptop (a Dell Precision 7520); as its wireless
NIC is not currently supported in FreeBSD, I have been using its wired
NIC:

em0@pci0:0:31:6:        class=3D0x020000 rev=3D0x31 hdr=3D0x00 vendor=3D0x8=

        nd6 options=3D29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
g1-48(14.0-C)[3]=20

As I type, it is running:

The same folks who champion the "rights" of corporations to influence
elections by money (as an exercise of free speech) are now also decrying
corporations' speaking out against voter suppression laws...?  Right.
