+Allow more groups to be specified accordingly.

+Convert PF_DEFAULT_TO_DROP into a vnet loader tunable `net.pf.default_to_drop`.
+gitref:cb162f659578[repository=src].
+gitref:7f7ef494f11d[repository=src] introduced a compile time option PF_DEFAULT_TO_DROP to make the man:pf[4] default rule to drop.
+While this change exposes a vnet loader tunable `net.pf.default_to_drop` so that users can change the default rule without re-compiling the man:pf[4] module.
+This change is similar to that for IPFW gitref:5f17ebf94db5[repository=src].

+Add AIM to man:igc[4] driver.
+gitref:eaa616f02193[repository=src].
+igc is derived from igb and has never had an AIM implementation. The same algorithm from e1000 is appropriate here.
+The AIM algorithm was re-introduced from the older igb or out of tree driver, and then modernized with permission to use Intel code from other drivers.

+With the new AIM code, it is expected most users will not need to manually tune this.

+Teach man:sysctl[8] to attach and run itself in a jail.
+gitref:5b0a5d8c1ea3[repository=src].
+This allows the parent jail to retrieve or set kernel state when child does not have man:sysctl[8] installed (for example light weighted OCI containers or slim jails).
+This is especially useful when manipulating jail prison or vnet sysctls.
+For example, `sysctl -j foo -Ja` or `sysctl -j foo net.fibs=2`.
+
+Teach man:ip6addrctl[8] to attach and run itself in a jail.
+gitref:fa9926a62ae3[repository=src].
+This will make it easier to manage address selection policies of vnet jails, especially for those light weighted OCI containers or slim jails.
+
+Enable vnet man:sysctl[9] variables to be loader tunable.
+gitref:d2a999c2e0a0[repository=src].
+Completes phase two of gitref:3da1cf1e88f8[repository=src].
+The meaning of the flag CTLFLAG_TUN is extended to automatically check if there is a kernel environment variable which shall initialize the sysctl during early boot.
+In memoriam of Hans Petter Selasky.
+
+Add flags to filter jail prison and vnet variables via man:sysctl[8].
+gitref:09cbd68e4e47[repository=src].
+So users do not have to contact the source code to tell whether a variable is a jail prison / vnet one or not.
