The fact that FreeBSD 11 has almost five years of support left is part
of what makes this a good time to remove support from 12. Updating 11
to support newer cards certainly makes sense.

That's true. ITU-T used to produce poor-quality ATM standards at a much
higher rate than anybody could fo
For consideration, stable/11 will be supported until September 30, 2021

Oh, and mbpool DMA syncing does not work at all and -- at least in patm
driver -- causes various issues.
This of course can be easily worked around if you choose to let ATM
ecosystem stay. If my client agrees,
I could also share a patch for patm to make it work with newer ProSUM

not support newer variants of ProSUM cards). I also have clients that
still use ATM and prosum cards and FreeBSD. My guess is that
they're not the only o
