1.8 release train is much nicer. Especially for FreeBSD.

It was actually pretty straightforward and it seems stable (at least the client; I haven't tried the server).

That was always the case, also on 1.6; FYI.

I've sent patches against 1.8.2 (and they applied cleanly to master at
the time) for FreeBSD 11.2 support. They are in the openafs-bugs queue.
The client is stable with these in my tests. Regarding the port; one can
(and should!) clean most patches from it because the fixes have been
incorporated in the 1.8 release train.
