That is exactly the problem though: it was broken. It was fixed only
because the CHERI folks found that it wasn't working and fixed it, and
they are not going to be using it much longer. If nobody else
regularly tests it in -CURRENT it will break again, and will end up
broken in a release.
Can this problem be covered by some automated tests to catch it sooner -
before release?
That said, since it does seem that several folks
are still currently using i I'll avoid trying to remove it in the near
future.
A caveat for the man pages may instead be something like:
The smbfs filesystem driver supports only the obsolete SMBv1 protocol.
smbfs is unmaintained and may not function correctly in FreeBSD 14 or
later. Users are advised to evaluate the sysutils/fusefs-smbnetfs port
instead.
Kind regards
