That's a landmine. The OpenSSL API has changed a fair bit since 0.9.4 - not substantially, but in a lot of little ways. I think it would be more confusing for someone to read about functions and function semantics which don't exist in our version. Frankly, most of the people who install 4.0 are likely to install 4.1 because it's a start-of-life branch which will take a while to settle down, so it will be corrected properly soon enough. As for the DES manpages being orphaned by a later upgrade, thats the kind of thing which happens in any FreeBSD upgrade..if you dont do a clean install, you'll have old bits lying around. > "legal" missing references).
