The original netgate blog post is about a slightly different event from arstechnica's follow-up (in this FreeBSD/WireGuard saga).

Arstechnica's article is about the removal of the 'rushed' WireGuard implementation that was supposed to go into FreeBSD 13 and the fact that development is continuing out of tree.

Netgate/pfSense had backported the old (pre-rushed) implementation that they had commissioned to the FreeBSD 12 kernel version which was released as part of pfSense 2.5 several weeks ago. They have now chosen to rip it back out again.
