The d_off field has been added to the dirent structure recently.
Currently filesystems don't support this feature. Support has been
added and tested for zfs, ufs, ext2fs, fdescfs, msdosfs and unionfs.
A stub implementation is available for cd9660, nandfs, udf and
pseudofs but hasn't been tested.
Motivation for this feature: our usecase is for a userspace nfs server
(nfs-ganesha) with zfs. At the moment we cache direntry offsets by
calling lseek once per entry, with this patch we can get the offset
directly from getdirentries(2) calls which provides a significant
speedup.

You should not be using DES. You should not have been using DES for the
past 30 years.
The ed DES-CBC scheme lacked several desirable properties of a sealed
document system, even ignoring DES itself. In particular, it did not
provide the "integrity" cryptographic property (detection of tampering), and
it treated ASCII passwords as 64-bit keys (instead of using a KDF like
scrypt or PBKDF2).
Some general approaches ed(1) users might consider to replace the removed
DES mode:
1. Full disk encryption with something like AES-XTS. This is easy to
conceptualize, design, and implement, and it provides confidentiality for
data at rest. Like CBC, it lacks tampering protection. Examples include
GELI, LUKS, FileVault2.
2. Encrypted overlay ("stackable") filesystems (EncFS, PEFS?, CryptoFS,
others).
3. Native encryption at the filesystem layer. Ext4/F2FS, ZFS, APFS, and
NTFS all have some flavor of this.
4. Storing your files unencrypted. It's not like DES was doing you much
good.
If you have DES-CBC scrambled files produced by ed(1) prior to this change,
you may decrypt them with:
openssl des-cbc -d -iv 0 -K <key in hex> -in <inputfile> -out <plaintext>

In the last decade(s) we have seen both short term or long term projects
committed to the tree which were considered or even marked "experimental".
While out-of-tree development has become easier than it used to be in
CVS times, there still is a need to have the code shipping with HEAD but
not enabled by default.
While people may think about VIMAGE as one of the recent larger, long term
projects, early protocol implementations (before they are standardised)
are others. (Free)BSD historically was one of the operating systems
which would have running code at early stages and help develop and
influence standardisation and the industry.
Give developers an opportunity to be more pro-active for early adoption
or running large scale code changes stumbling over each others but not
the user's feet. I have not added the option to NOTES in order to avoid
breaking supported option builds, which require constant compile testing.
