As a FreeBSD user, that's good to hear :)

Has there been any discussion about why the process failed in this case, and what is going to be done to make sure something similar doesn't happen in the future?

This is the review for the original commit, in case anyone is interested: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D26137

There's some discussion happening now and I do expect to see some process changes coming out of this. It's tricky. The review you link does nominally follow the process of creating a review and having some discussion, but there isn't much actual code review happening there.
