It looks like Kyle has gone ahead with the revert anyway, so
development is now happening at:

https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-freebsd/

And there are now regular snapshot releases:

As for your objections, and the question of what -CURRENT should or
shouldn't be used for, I really have no idea as a community outsider.
But I do look forward to submitting it for proper inclusion in
-CURRENT after a few more cycles of development and refinement.
There's also the crypto question that I'd welcome some feedback on:

Thanks for bringing this up; I had actually forgotten about that. Do
you want to re-add it and keep that current as we develop? If you
email me your SSH key, you can just commit it directly.
