FreeBSD 12.1 or 13.0 would be where mount_smbfs could be removed, and now is actually a pretty good point at which to propose deprecating SMBv1 support for those versions. Traditionally, that starts by sending an e-mail to freebsd-arch@... -- if you'ld like to be credited for the suggestion, please by all means do propose removing mount_smbfs there. Of course, it will need a src committer to actually do the deed, but that's not likely to be a major obstacle. Cheers, Matthew
