As of RELEASE-10.0 geli_swap_flags in /etc/defaults/rc.conf are gone and geli_swap_flags in rc.conf are obsolete, the status "In Discussion" should be changed to its final destination.

Comment 5 rsimmons0 2022-10-17 16:29:55 UTC 
According to a comment long, long ago:

"As of RELEASE-10.0 geli_swap_flags in /etc/defaults/rc.conf are gone and geli_swap_flags in rc.conf are obsolete, the status "In Discussion" should be changed to its final destination."

This bug needs to be closed in such a way that it doesn't keep getting re-opened by various automations and batch changes.
