Reviving an old thread here: The C99 compliance page was last updated in 2011 and it currently shows a large amount of outdated information. I see this page being used in many discussion forums, on IRC, etc. to show FreeBSD in a negative light. We need to either (A) move this to the wiki (b) update it on a routine basis or (c) delete it. Can I please have a volunteer go through the page and tell me what to change? I am more than happy to act as the 'doc proxy' but someone needs to commit to monitoring changes. -- Eitan Adler
