Need

Things that someone needs in the next two years to support a product or service

Thing Owner Committed
NAND file system (that works) stevek –
Failsafe ZFS bootcode allanjude partial
All test cases pass and no flaky ones on tier-1 lwhsu
No test failures in qemu (slow) brooks –
100% coverage on boot loader changes via qemu / bhyve imp –

More documentation on writing good tests bcr
802.11ac/ax bz
wpa3 bz trouble

install graphical environment from installer (to install drm port and other things in bsdinstall) Graphics Team –
per-jail memory/cpu/io limits (package building) rctl insufficient (cpulimit is per proc, need scheduler aware of jail limits) bdrewery –
