It was not approval in this case, as releng/12.4 requires approval from the re@ team.

My turn to be unclear, I guess. By "Little to no point creating makework for everyone, then", I meant I wasn't going to pursue that MFC, only MFCing into 13-stable. I was asking about overall approval, excluding the MFC into 12.4 which I abandoned.

Note, as your mentor, and as someone involved in this particular change request against releng/12.4, I cannot approve the change myself.

Noted for future reference if needed, thanks.

@gjb, is this worth getting into 12.4 for the experience getting a change into a releng version, or is it too minor to bother?

I think it may be too minor to worry about it, but I will not object to it.

For:

msdos points to efi in the same directory. No implicit / generation.

For:

ln -s /boot/efi ${DESTDIR}/boot/msdos

msdos points to /boot/efi .

Both ways reach the same file, as long as msdos is not moved to a different directory anyway.
