These long-standing bugs are still open, in decreasing order of
importance. I checked 60313 and 44260 a few moments ago with a current
RELENG_4_11 CVS, and haven't seen any followups on 46866 and 71453.

kern/60313  data destruction
            (kernel access wrong address on block device)

bin/46866   nondeterministic NIS returns
            (this has been messing up NIS-based systems for ages
            with users gone one moment and appearing the next)

bin/71453   tcpdump segfaults on PPP IPV6CP traffic
            (includes a suggested solution, perhaps MFC suffices)       

kern/44260  LINT does not list pseudo-device tap
            (trivial to fix)
