Summary

There are a few entries where the committer did not bother explaining what his
commit was doing, so I did not bother reading the diff to figure out what was
in his head.

There has been a general trend lately of committing stuff in src, but not
bother to document the __FreeBSD_version bumps.

I hope this trend stops...

I did not check each __FreeBSD_version bump revision, but on cursory review, this looks fine.

I sure hope you did not spend a day reviewing all those stuff, my eyes hurt from reading commit logs :-p

I'm going to commit this as-is.

What would be the best course of action to remind source committers that when they bump __FreeBSD_version, they *really* should commit to this file, like they used to do. (Out of the 65 missing versions, 50 or so are from 2016)

It is mentioned in the sys/sys/param.h file. :(

I know, it is just that somehow, people stopped doing it :(
