Hubbard" Sender: owner-doc@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk For some time, we've proclaimed in the first paragraph of the Handbook that it was last revised in December 1996 and contained instructions for 2.1.6. Now that it's February, soon to be March, and 2.1.6 is history about to be replaced by 2.1.7, I'd like to humbly suggest that we simply *remove* this version information and call the Handbook what it always has been - a fairly generic document for no release in particular, except for certain very specific instances (which should simply be noted in each case). That would be one less thing to forget each time and we could stop declaring that the Handbook was less often updated than it really is. Comments? Jordan
