So here I am, looking at my old PRs that haven't been closed, when it
hits me...

I would think that the best way to solve this once and for all would
be to introduce an entity that points to the current release notes.
This would address dd's dislike of the link I suggested while
remaining up to date forever.  Also, I would imagine that the ability
to link to the current release notes easily is a Good Thing.

Attached please find two patches that implement this.  I'm not certain
if the entity is added to the correct file, but it compiles so I'm
shipping it.  :)


One applies to book.sgml, the other to share/sgml/freebsd.ent.
