The Handbook generally tracks -stable.  We tag it at release time, so
that we can go back and build the version of the Handbook that was
shipped at each release, but day-to-day the Handbook tries to follow
-stable.

Having said that, we don't just remove text from the Handbook (or FAQ
or other documents) if it's no longer appropriate for the latest release
of FreeBSD.  The text is normally amended so that both the new and the
old information is clearly delineated..
