I haven't heard such a thing, but as a conspiracy-lover it sounds not
unreasonable.

Interesting that you post this mail to the freeBSD mailinglists. The
absolute #1 reason for me running freeBSD instead of debian, SuSE,
Mandrake, Redhat (which I have tried all) is the Handbook. Finally
almost everything a user spanning from novice to regular can find
everything in the same document. That is for sure a huge success for the
freeBSD distribution.
