We need to wait for FreeBSD 12 to release then some time after for any changes
to libbsd to happen.

I need to modify the RSB to fetch all source not just the host I run the release
fetch on. We need to fetch and capture all source for all hosts. This is a
tricky problem and I am not yet sure how I will do this.

The FreeBSd release is 4 Dec 2018 and this leaves us only a few weeks before the
end of the year. We might be able to make a release but it will be tight.

I have made the ticket #2962 [1] a blocker. We need to have a baseline for the
BSPs and the testing environment we use. We will ship with some tests that are
not working, that is a fact of life, so lets flag these so users can see what is
expected to work and what is not expected to work.
