Please use send-pr(1) on your system instead." Best way to get that done is submit a PR, with patches... The reason they haven't temporarily changed the send-pr.html page, but have disabled it through the apache config, is that the whole www.freebsd.org web site is rebuilt out of CVS every night. No-one involved apparently either wanted to or had sufficient privileges to commit a temporary "out to lunch" page to CVS. Especially as they would only have to remove it fairly shortly afterwards. The apache config is not in the main FreeBSD CVS repo. as far as I can see, and it probably doesn't get auto-rebuilt in the same way.
