The issue is not about local policy, Nik. There are literally dozens of Japanese FreeBSD books and magazines out there that includes a variation of the first line up there as the command to read the handbook. (I don't know about other countries but I suspect the situation is the same.) When people buy a book, install the latest system and find out it doesn't work, they get pissed. And we (on the Japanese mailing lists) are the ones that hear about it. Or worse, they just go away and install Linux, and we never hear from them again.
