There's still FreeBSD 11 compatibility code introduced by e.g. dc6eb20 and golang/sys@5535b4e which still requires COMPAT_FREEBSD11 in the kernel. Saying that FreeBSD 12.2 is an oldest supported version and at the same time requiring a kernel built with COMPAT_FREEBSD11 sounds confusing to me.

Are there plans to remove FreeBSD 11 compat code from Go and x/sys/unix before go1.19 release?

@dmgk Note that we use Gerrit for code review. GitHub is a mirror. Very few people see comments on GitHub commits. If you want to comment on this change, please comment on https://go.dev/cl/354971. Thanks.

That said, this concern would probably be best raised on the golang-dev group or as an issue. Thanks.
already reached end-of-life. Go 1.19 will require FreeBSD 12.2+ or FreeBSD
13.0+.
FreeBSD 13.0+ will require a kernel with the COMPAT_FREEBSD12 option set (this is the default).
