It struck me as odd that although <http://www.freebsd.org/support.html#gnats>;
does say that send-pr(1) is preferred, it does still mention just e-mailing
freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org. While I've argued in a commercial environment
that customer convenience is key and that plain e-mail bug reports are
just as important as those coming in via an automated filing system,
perhaps in a volunteer environment this is just asking for problem
reports to go into a black hole...
Also, the send-pr(1) link goes to the submission web page instead of to the
manual page for the *command* it explicitly references.
If I wasn't just on my way to bed I might suggest a rewording that
pointed first at the (explicitly referenced) web page (since we're on
a web page here already), then happened to mention the send-pr(1)
command possibly available on the user's system, and just kept quiet
about the -bugs mailing list...
Cheers,
Mark.
