I'm also curious about how they intend to measure uptimes using RFC 1323 extensions - I just skimmed this and it didn't offer any suggestions as to how that would help (unless it's playing games with sequence numbers or something, which seems dubious) As for the question, the text in rc.conf(5) could do with some justification why it would no longer be a problem: "Some hardware/software out there is known to be broken with respect to these options."
