Hi, as you may know, the printed edition of FreeBSD Handbook is being worked. In our current Handbook version, we have version-specific information for different major releases, while the printed edition shall concentrate on 9.X. We cannot just drop the parts that detail older releases since they haven't yet reached EOL and there are people out there still using these. So we have to deal somehow with this situation. Fortunately, DocBook provides a mechanism, called profiling, which we could use. It would also be beneficial for later cleanup work since finding outdated information that has to do with unsupported releases always requires big effort. I've made a draft about how it could be done in a practical way: https://wiki.freebsd.org/VersionSpecificDocs Please read it and if you have doubts, concerns or better suggestions, please share them. Thanks in advance, Gabor
