Users search Google for the FreeBSD.org page they want and Google does a pretty amazing job of finding it. Interestingly, that freebsd.org gets a lot of bounces indicates the information is organized, stable, reliably searchable, and labelled well. These are very good things that are a lot less common than they should be. It also means the site makes deep bookmarks reliable. As such a user, I use Google to find, say, the errata pages or the release cycle data and just go to those pages directly. I also have the FTP site listing and the send-pr page bookmarked.
