If it needs to be bumped, it needs to be bumped.
One problem I foresee is that if we want to keep too much of a close tie to
FreeBSD's APIs and ABIs we are going to limit ourselves.
Yes, at one point it makes things easier for us, but at the other it totally
doesn't.
What's so against bumping the ABI?
(Personally I think we should rip the last vestiges of FreeBSD from the code
and the dfports in order to get more active on making DragonFly supported.
I've been sending patches upstream, have you? -aimed at the general audience
