If D24763 and D24764 are accepted, I'll also add a /etc/autofs/master_efs file to EC2 instances, so that EFS can be enabled simply by adding

autofs_enable="YES"
autofs_masters="efs"

to /etc/rc.conf.

Hm, why not add this file like all other special maps, so that it’s installed unconditionally?

My policy thus far has been to avoid having EC2-specific code in "stock" FreeBSD as much as possible. (There have been exceptions, like the NFS "oneopenown" option, but those were unavoidable.)

This policy might change in the future, but for now I don't see any pressing reason to change it.
