On the Linux xfs development list there is an RFC to remove IRIX,
Darwin, and FreeBSD support from xfsprogs, the userspace program used
to create/interact with XFS filesystems. Just wanted to poke and check
to ensure that FreeBSD is not interested in XFS, if this is incorrect
now would be the good time to chime into the list and discussion.

Hi Luis,

FreeBSD 11+ can mount XFS filesystems read and write via a FUSE port
incorporating LKL[0] (sysutils/fusefs-lkl). I would appreciate
xfsprogs retaining FreeBSD support at least for creating or modifying
offline XFS filesystems, if it isn't too painful for you.

Thanks,
Conrad
