By the time it is finished, it will be the guide to 5.0-RELEASE, which
is why it is simply information that belongs in the Handbook.  We do
not need to split off a new version of the Handbook for each different
version of FreeBSD.  That would be a huge waste of resources.

Point those people to the Handbook, tell them to search for 'devfs',
etc..  If they can't find the material they are looking for, then ask
them to submit minor patches to clarify 5.0 functionality, rather than
write a whole new book.
