Major issues for 7.0-RELEASE
| Issue | Status | Responsible | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| routed not working | Done | Robert Watson | Routed should have been updated because of updates made to the underlying network infrastructure. The old interface was added back in but marked as depreciated. |

| sleepq race condition | Done | John Baldwin | Races in the sleepq implementation will occasionally result in sleeps with timeouts failing to wake up, as well as other symptoms. A patch has been merged to HEAD, RELENG_7, and RELENG_7_0. |
| pty race condition | Done | Konstantin Belousov | Multiple race conditions in the tty/pty code have lead to occasional panics. One set of problems has been fixed, but others are still being explored It is aniticipated that the remaining problems will be fixed for 7.0RC2. |
| amd64 minidump race condition | Done | Ruslan Ermilov | A race condition during minidump generation on SMP amd64 could lead trashed file systems due to writing outside of the swap area. A patch has been merged to HEAD, RELENG_7, and RELENG_7_0. |
| libkse fork process wedge | Done | Julian Elischer, Daniel Eischen | A bug in libkse could lead the processes hanging after fork if they fork while running multiple threads.
