The general intent is that we not lose anything. TRIM is the only
piece of code that really needs resolution upstream causing us to lose
it temporarily. Failure to upstream FreeBSD's TRIM support has been a
recurring source of bugs when integrating new features. As for NFSv4
I've forked the ACL bits in to the OS dependent code - I'll make a
note to make sure that nothing regresses there. This is yet another
example of why there will be a 3 month period for users to try the
port before we cut over.
