FreeBSD sysctl fixes

Hi ansible,

Any more comments on my FreeBSD sysctl fixes? https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/8256

You’re probably very busy, so don’t want to push anyone around here, but in case it had inadvertently dropped off the radar, just a gentle reminder. Would be very nice to have this in the next release, if that works for you guys.

All the best,

Berend.

Discussion on pull requests is a better subject for ansible-devel usually.

All being said, I followed up with a question 3 days ago and it got flagged P3, and there are 160 of those in queue right now.

I had first requested some whitespace commits not go in, and this was fixed by a revert - which doesn’t solve the history problem.

It appears there are now about 12 other commits in there, so the best thing to do would be to resubmit this as a squashed patch containing just the one commit.

Commits that take spaces in and add them back completely miss the point we had originally - which was about not breaking attribution on those lines in source control history, when there was no need to change those lines.

Have done so: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/8406

With 160 P3 pull requests, it seems ansible is successful!

Didn’t know about ansible devel, will use that in the future.
