Keeping them in the Handbook is fine with me, I just think in the long run we'll want tools that create a glossary relevant for the FAQ, Handbook, Developers Handbook, and other documents automatically from the same source file that you are already doing a good job maintaining. POLA, OBE, and other mailing list acronyms aren't needed for the Handbook, but would be good to be included at the end of an article about the freebsd mailing lists, for example. - Murray
