    How many times has that driver been reintroduced to the kernel? Such instability is very unusual for FreeBSD, are they preparing to move from a conservative OS model to a cutting edge one?

      Just this once after it missed out 13.0 for egregious reasons. (basically the driver was a pile of crap in the first iteration). The firewall/router distros of FreeBSD like PFsense and OPNSense have already picked it back up If I recall.

        I have installed FreeBSD a few times in VirtualBox, and we run a TrueOS NAS at work, so use some FreeBSD. I installed the RC3 from the other day in VirtualBox and really like the console font they use. Also a solid block cursor that does *not* blink, I like that a lot! Also, the boot messages/text is a bolder white when coming from the kernel, then standard, almost a little more gray when coming from init / user space. Never noticed that before. Anyway, small little details that I think are cool. Not going to argue the merits or lack of merits with FreeBSD (I'm not an expert in this), but glad it is around and keeps progressing.
