[...] My secret decoder ring is telling me the implicit message here (along with a recent Qt5 "upgrade") is that the FreeBSD home page explicit statement that the 11.3 and 11.4 releases of FreeBSD are in production status is a bit of a lie. I know I'm going to have to upgrade to 12 sooner or later, but I just don't have a warm, fuzzy feeling about that right now.
