Note that this stale manual page must be used carefully.  There must be
serious reasons to remove the whole content of a manual page in a
system such a FreeBSD.

The last commit in the RELENG_4 branch by luigi removes most of the
content with the following commit log:

<< MFC: Remove stale information from these two manpage, and point the readers
   tothe one up-to-date page which is ipfw(8). >>
