I disagree. For one, enc(4) is very much part of FreeBSD. As it stands
you cannot build a (working) kernel with ses(4) and enc(4) in it. Also,
this problem only appeared after 9.1-RELEASE, I presume once the new ses
driver was merged in r246437.

I don't care which driver needs to change their name, but you can't
seriously expect every user to patch their source.

Rolf.
