We went back to look at why this happened and found https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/issues/1917 which we reported a long time ago. It seems that when py37-MarkupSafe became py37-markupsafe the FreeBSD package tool would mark the new package as manually installed (which it wasn't) so it sticked around ever since then for some people.

Apart from that, the pkg source is available here: https://github.com/freebsd/pkg. You can file a feature request there, too. Code is pretty clean IIRC and I'm sure they appreciate patches.

2023-06-26: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/commit/ee0aa1ce12b3caea34477a31e9d2111a329e33b9 to main (tagged release/14.0.0).

It's not yet in FreeBSD base so if you want to test it you'll have to use the patch from the PR: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/pull/881

Lots of great work by many people. But I bet this guy and his optimizations to the vfs and locking has made a significant impact.

and then there were deep concerns about the stability of same, so vfs.zfs.bclone_enabled = 0 was left in-place

Well there are some examples:

But yeah that pf.conf could be expanded allot, but there are many source to cobble a conf together. My conf is massive but 99.9% commented out so i have my "template" for nearly everything, from mail to web to blacklistd etc.

The BSD version is sort of very recent, for what it's worth -- FreeBSD imported a not fully functional version in 2017 and has seen more work on it in 2022: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/commits/main/usr.bin/... , but the default version shipped is still GNU diff3: https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=diff3&apropos=0&se... .
