We have plenty of time, but we don't have plenty of manpower. I'd just
like to know where everyone stands wrt using FreeBSD 10.0 (as opposed to
just shipping its kernel as an alternate option) for Jessie.
If we're going to use 10.0, then I'd upload kfreebsd-kernel-headers 10.0
to experimental right away. This would give us a lot more room to address
FTBFS problems.
