Well, I'll let the core team hammer out the wording, and I'll see
to it that it gets in the manual.  If the said file stays put in
the source tree, and in its current format, the handbook can just
pull it in directly when html/latex/ascii versions are generated.

And that isn't the only thing missing, inaccurate, and out of
date!  I just dug out my O'Reilly catalog and will fill out the
bibliography a bit more.  And to everyone else, please send a
citation of YOUR favorite FreeBSD relevant book or magazine to
doc@freebsd.org.  Ultimately, I would like to make this an
annotated bibliography, so if you have comments on any of the
entries, send those in too!
