• MultiQ for CAM (imp, scottl)
• GEOM fault injection: DTrace/DWatch for storage failure injection (dexter, ctuffli?, Ash, dteske?, rpokala?)
• useful data collection on running systems for data-driven decision making in the project, such as dmesg stats, pkg stats, etc (imp)
• solution for kernel modules in ports (bdrewery)
  • “virtualbox” problem
  • per-release repos (e.g. 12.0, 12.1 vbox kmod)

• RTC_WAKE (bwidawsk)
• Non-trash crypto framework (jhb,cem,gordon)
• tcpdump-like tracing for CAM periph protocol traffic (imp,gnn)
• make poudriere multinode capable - farm jobs out to multiple systems using a single backend store (ash, jt, shirkdog, bdrewery[it‘s really not that far off]
• updated mount SMBFS smbv3 support (iXsystems)
