Will this issue eventually affect pfSense?

I recently came across this DHCP v6 issue with a pfSense fork in production. I've been subscribed to notifications since.

Today's comment said the issue will eventually also affect pfSense, because it originally were to stem from FreeBSD. If this is true, I can only imagine the chaos that will ensue if brought to pfSense...

The issue appears to be challenging to replicate in a test environment, yet
dhcp ipv6 issues will start popping up one after another as you move into production.

Is there any reason for concern for pfSense users?

If it's an upstream bug that affects FreeBSD 12 then I would have expected it to already be an issue in pfSense. It's currently built on 12-stable. Anything they were seeing in Feb 2021 (in FreeBSD 12.1?) would already be in or already be fixed. Or it's somehow specific to how they are using it.
Are you seeing a problem in pfSense?

@stephenw10 thank you, this is reassuring to hear. Indeed an odd claim considering pfSense is already FreeBSD 12.3 based. I haven’t seen any such issues with pfSense, but I spent hours trying to diagnose the IPv6 dropping issue with opnsense before. I really wouldn’t want it to come to pfSense at some point.
