The Zeek team is considering sunsetting our official support of FreeBSD. This is primarily because of our impending move to a new CI provider, and the lack of good support for FreeBSD on any of them. We would like to move FreeBSD support to the same model as OpenBSD, where we will accept patches from external contributors if we break something, but not build and run the test suite on FreeBSD ourselves. This would simplify our maintenance a bit, as well as reduce the amount of time spent on CI jobs.
If anyone has any concerns about this, please let us know. The plan is for this to take effect in the 9.0 release, since the CI changes are happening in that same timeline.
