Description

Description of the tech debt to be addressed, include links and screenshots

The oldest supported release of FreeBSD is version 12.3, yet Salt still includes code for releases prior to 10.0. Can it be removed? It would ease maintenance. For example, the entire freebsdpkg module is no longer needed.
