Is it possible to backport this patch to OPNsense, or should we wait until FreeBSD applies it?
Same as always: wait for stable branch merge.
Also, are we going to hear Netgate praise itself every two weeks now on their blog for open source work while forgetting to push any CE code commits for 6 months?
Feels like a new marketing strategy. I wish them the best. :)
Cheers,

FreeBSD already applied the fix to HEAD (https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=4a0ec469934a5de60b9b540689703a698ac44105) (write only once instead of thrice) and it will be MFC'd (backported to STABLE) in 2 weeks. The batched write enhancement is still under revision (https://reviews.freebsd.org/D60416).
