Re: April 2024 stabilization week

  Hi FreeBSD/main users & developers,

this stabilization week [likely final] status update:

* Netflix testing didn't discover any stability issues with
  main-n269602-dd03eafacba9.
* Netflix testing didn't discover any substantial performance
  degradations.  The data is still being analyzed though.
* A regression with ZFS reported in 
  https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=278494
  has been addressed by ZFS 9f83eec03904b18e052fbe2c66542bd47254cf57.
* An old (more than a month old) regression has been identified
  with accept_filter(9).
  Fixed by a8acc2bf5699556946dda2a37589d3c3bd9762c6.

Since FreeBSD/main has been pushed with several non-documentation, non-a-
trivial-bugfix commits during the days of the stabilization week, I can't
guarantee that the above testing results are applicable to the current state of
FreeBSD/main.  That's why I created a temporary cherry-picking branch
stabweek-2024-Apr that is published at https://github.com/glebius/FreeBSD.git.

Users of FreeBSD/main are adviced with the following choices:

- Pull up FreeBSD/main up to a8acc2bf5699556946dda2a37589d3c3bd9762c6 and use it
  as your stabilization point.  There is tiny risk of untested changes added
  recently.
- Pull stabweek-2024-Apr from https://github.com/glebius/FreeBSD.git.
- Craft stabweek-2024-Apr yourself:
  # git checkout -b stabweek-2024-Apr dd03eafacba962c9dcec929c3ed9d63e7c43da3a
  # git cherry-pick -x --strategy=subtree -Xsubtree=sys/contrib/openzfs 9f83eec03904b18e052fbe2c66542bd47254cf57
  # git cherry-pick -x a8acc2bf5699556946dda2a37589d3c3bd9762c6

I'm planning to end the advisory freeze on the main branch Wednesday morning
at 8:00 UTC, unless somebody opposes that with a valid reason, e.g. a
regression that I missed.
