Netlink has a confirmation/error reporting mechanism for the sent
messages. Kernel explicitly acks each messages if requested (NLM_F_ACK)
or if message processing results in an error.
Similarly, for multipart messages - typically dumps, where each message
represents a single object like an interface or a route - another
message, NLMSG_DONE is used to indicate the end of dump and the
resulting status.
As a result, successfull dump ends with both NLMSG_DONE and NLMSG_ERROR
messages.
RFC 3549 does not say anything specific about such case.
Linux adopted an optimisation which suppresses NLMSG_ERROR message
when NLMSG_DONE is already sent. Certain libraries/applications like
libnl depends on such behavior.
Suppress sending NLMSG_ERROR if NLMSG_DONE is already sent, by
setting newly-added 'suppress_ack' flag in the writer and checking
this flag when generating ack.
This change restores libnl compatibility.

scrub rules have defaulted to handling fragments for a long time, but
since we removed "fragment crop" and "fragment drop-ovl" in 64b3b4d611
this has become less obvious and more expensive ("reassemble" being the
more expensive option, even if it's the one the vast majority of users
should be using).
Extend the 'scrub' syntax to allow fragment reassembly to be disabled,
while retaining the other scrub behaviour (e.g. TTL changes, random-id,
..) using 'scrub fragment no reassemble'.

Along with _PSV, _HOT, and _CRT, ACPI supports the _CR3 threshold
which specifies a temperature above which a system should transition
to the S3 standby state.
On FreeBSD, this is more useful than _HOT, which specifies the S4
transition threshold temperature (since FreeBSD does not generally
support the S4 state), or, in many cases, _CRT, since after
transitioning to S3 the system can cool and then be resumed.

A small reduction in build infrastructure complexity; when we had both
Clang and GCC in the tree it was useful to have both built, and choose
one or the other to install as /usr/bin/cc. Now only Clang is in the
tree, and there is no point in building and installing base Clang but
not providing it as cc (and c++, cpp).

Switch /etc/mail/Makefile to use /etc/rc.d/sendmail instead of
/etc/rc.sendmail this switch should have been done 20 years ago.
While here update the documentation to not refer anymore to
mta_start_script
Reported by: Jose Luis Duran <jlduran@gmail.com>
othermta (along with mta_start_script configuration entry in rc.conf)
was a mechanism used to be able to run another mta than sendmail(8) before
"rcng" time 20 years ago.
othermta has not been used since.
${name}_prepend is suboptimal as it is prepended to the actual
command being run. Therefore the term "commandS to prepend"
is misleading and no clear separation takes place for setup tasks
that may be required like changing a config file permission or
generating a configuration file prior to service start.
The other reason is that {argument}_precmd is a service-side
variable and cannot be repurposed from the user-side.
