I think it was here: https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2015-November/058706.html

which was just about a year ago.  Perhaps I’m reading it wrong, but it seems like the implication is that removing the symbol from being exported was a "fix", where DE says "Why do the tests in tests/sys/mqueue/ try to use non-public APIs?" and then later, "symbol versioning for librt was broken and leaking symbols that shouldn't have been leaked."

That makes sense, and appreciate the patch, but just to be clear, does your change get committed so that we won’t have to re-apply it after future updates/upgrades?
