What's a rich tapestry of history for, if not to be bleached white? I think things like this, as long as they are still applicable (see other post) give the project its character. I can name many uses of "old" terminology and grammatical style, as well as just plain non-sequitors, in the FreeBSD documentation. Personally, I reall prefer that the tunefs man page keep the "You can tune a file system, but you can't tune a fish.", as one example. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
