New Revision: 265212
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/265212

Log:
  lindev(4): remove the device
  
  lindev(4) was only used to provide /dev/full which is now a standard feature of
  FreeBSD.  /dev/full was never linux-specific and provides a generally useful
  feature.
  
  Document this in UPDATING and bump __FreeBSD_version.  This will be documented
  in the PH shortly.
