Bug ID: 231768
Summary: [request] Remove COMPAT_FREEBSD4 or newer default
kernel options
Product: Base System
Version: CURRENT
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: kern
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
It's 2018.
Support for FreeBSD4 ended in 2007, I think it is exaggerated to put
COMPAT_FREEBSD4 in the GENERIC or MINIMAL kernel configs by default.
I propose to remove COMPAT_FREEBSD4, COMPAT_FREEBSD5, COMPAT_FREEBSD6,
COMPAT_FREEBSD7 and COMPAT_FREEBSD8 from those files.
I could not think of a reason to keep those options enabled by default, I'm
only seeing possible security vulnerabilities. (For example, HardenedBSD
disabled those COMPAT* options other than COMPAT_FREEBSD10 for security
reasons: see
https://github.com/HardenedBSD/hardenedBSD/blob/hardened/current/master/sys/amd64/conf/HARDENEDBSD)
Thanks for hearing me out :P
