+===== FreeBSD boot loader bug =====
+I've been seeing this message for quite some time:
+> BOOT LOADER IS TOO OLD. PLEASE UPGRADE.
+Surrounded by a frame of asterisks, it looked serious. So I searched a bit, eventually finding [[https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=282001|bug #282001: Inappropriate "BOOT LOADER IS TOO OLD" / missing initialization of bootprog_rev in lutils.c]]. It was interesting to observe the decision-making process.
