Upgraded to 23.7. Wow.

( By that time the "lucky" ones will be running #something on "FreeBSD 15 pre-beta maybe alpha" if the trend holds )

Why would you call that lucky? It's an unstable version of FreeBSD. Actually I'm very happy to see that OPNsense 23.7 stayed with FreeBSD 13.2 and didn't choose a dev build like pfSense because it's a stable release. To me it feels better having a OS version that is considered stable for my firewall instead of a dev build that is full of bugs.

To be honest, i think that FreeBSD has reached a point where, no matter the version, it just works.

That may be true, but shipping a "release" that doesn't even have a corresponding stable/14 branch seems risky to me too. I always wonder about it.

I was also reluctant to move from FreeBSD 13.1 to 13.2, but so far that seems to hold up fine.

It's true that FreeBSD crashed A LOT more in the past (from a decade worth of experience at least), but it does crash often enough when new features are introduced or reworked and that's true for minor and major updates.

Just did another successful update to 23.7.2 with zero issues. Good work.
