FreeBSD 11.4 (the last version of FreeBSD 11) went end of life in September 2021, so nobody should be using it since it hasn't had security support since then. And it's even been functional (but slow) since FreeBSD 11.0, and 10.4 went EOL in 2018. So users shouldn't actually be experiencing any actual functionality problems since then. I don't think it's a big deal for people who want to use an obsolete OS (which, to be clear, I'm not encouraging) to tweak the Makefile knobs a bit. > > With making 6.0 the minimum version drop bits for supporting > > FreeBSD 4.x. >=20 > FreeBSD 4.x is no longer supported and wouldn't even build a > current git, since it predates C99 and is missing POSIX > compatibility with what we require (ex: no statvfs) I definitely think getting rid of FreeBSD 4 support is fine. It doesn't even support AMD64, so as a practical matter it wouldn't be useful on any sort of modern hardware. --=20 brian m. carlson (they/them) Toronto, Ontario, CA --3MA3HHKa4zT7/PQQ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.4.7 (GNU/Linux) iHUEABYKAB0WIQQILOaKnbxl+4PRw5F8DEliiIeigQUCaEsE8QAKCRB8DEliiIei gaf2AQDNuFWk83rq7afORPZ3vpPcAmZK189lNtz1E6Reva+n9AD/VBflpDljGgGo jVYiDebxKNJS0t6tG5OpHBBuZ4tqFAE= =/s17 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --3MA3HHKa4zT7/PQQ--
