  Do we?  What should it say?  Please be specific, preferably in the
  form of a PR.  Is this really a doc problem?

Full disclosure.  Don't downplay.  Both the scope and the gravity of the
issue is grossly downplayed here

The truth is that FreeBSD/i386 10 is completely unusable under all three
major type 1 virtualisers.  It should not be used, or one will cause
data loss.

It might be embarrasing to fess up about bugs, but downplaying serious
issues make people lose confidence.  Which is worst?
