It should be noted, of course, that for successful technology transfer, it really good idea to target -CURRENT regardless of the ups and downs of -CURRENT: otherwise you find your work stuck in a backwater and lost (witness the lottery scheduling support, and many other things..). Part of the problem here is that often research funding waves its hands at technology transfer, but doesn't cover the day-to-day activity of merging and tracking a moving target, which is required to work on both Linux and FreeBSD.
