The FreeBSD Handbook attempts to document some -CURRENT features.
Some of the articles go out of the way to talk about devfs, the md vs
vn devices, and other assorted differences. If doc does not document
-CURRENT, I think it is because the authors are unfamiliar with the
code. We should certainly encourage the documenting of -CURRENT
features. We certainly aren't going to be able to catch up with 2.5
years worth of changes immediately after 5.0 is released. The only
way for us to continue to have relevant documentation is to accept
-CURRENT submissions now.
A few days ago I submitted a PR for us to document FFS snapshots and
background fsck in the Handbook.
The 2nd Edition FreeBSD Handbook was printed with additional
5.0-CURRENT material added, so that it could have a longer shelf life.
