+ * OBSOLETE
+ * This sysctl is no longer needed as of fuse protocol 7.23. Now, individual
* servers can select the cache behavior they need for each mountpoint:
* - writethrough: the default
* - writeback: set FUSE_WRITEBACK_CACHE in fuse_init_out.flags
* - uncached: set FOPEN_DIRECT_IO for every file
- * The sysctl is retained primarily for use by jails supporting older FUSE
- * protocols. It may be removed entirely once FreeBSD 11.3 and 12.0 are EOL.
+ * The sysctl is retained primarily due to the enduring popularity of libfuse2,
+ * which is frozen at protocol version 7.19. As of 4-April-2024, 90% of
+ * FreeBSD ports that use libfuse still bind to libfuse2.
