Thank you!

off-list I just got the request to enable the pounce-notify and palaver 
extensions. I've tested pounce-notify back when I added -t upstream and it 
works fine, but I didn't enable it for the 3.1 version since I wanted to 
backport it on -stable. Then I probably forgot to enable them.

Just in case you want to consider enabling them as well.

we seem to have different opinions regarding 'features'


I used a simple wrapper for it too, but in general I don't like the idea of 
automatically restart a network-facing daemon, and that's why I never proposed 
to add kitd to the ports tree.  I'd score as a 'feature' not needing a process 
supervisor to automatically restart a service.  They could keep "inet dns" and 
just reconnect instead, and/or optionally moving to a slightly different 
privsep design.


I thought they didn't had reconnect due to capsicum(4).
