That is exactly the problem though: it was broken. It was fixed only because the CHERI folks found that it wasn't working and fixed it, and they are not going to be using it much longer. If nobody else regularly tests it in -CURRENT it will break again, and will end up broken in a release. That said, since it does seem that several folks are still currently using i I'll avoid trying to remove it in the near future. A caveat for the man pages may instead be something like: The smbfs filesystem driver supports only the obsolete SMBv1 protocol. smbfs is unmaintained and may not function correctly in FreeBSD 14 or later. Users are advised to evaluate the sysutils/fusefs-smbnetfs port instead.
