I think freebsd-questions is often a better place to discuss what's
wrong with documentation and whether a proposed change makes sense.
Freebsd-doc seems to have many fewer readers and many of those would
prefer to do the grunt work of documentation than to hash over the
details of a proposed change or discuss the reasons for a poorly
expressed rant about some poor documentation.  Not so here.

Of course, one must finally get proposed changes into a PR or onto
freebsd-doc for a Committer to aprove and commit them.
