In the tcpdump SA, for example, we were told that updating to 4.6-RELEASE-p2 would fix the problem for 4.6. There was no such statement in the ktrace SA, so we're left with either going to stable or applying the patch. While patching isn't much effort at all, I just don't like it. One of the big attractors to FreeBSD is the CVS method for getting all updates, fixes, and upgrades. It makes things work really well without the worry of version conflicts and source discrepancies that patching can induce. I guess the better question should have been: is the ktrace fix included in 4.6-RELEASE-p2?
