This is the reason why Japanese doc team feels difficulty to rewrite
the FreeBSD FAQ. If we knew we have to rewrite the FAQ, we would sync
the Japanese FAQ to the English version before the CVS repository
change. The rewrite-work would be more simple and more easy.
I wonder why Nik did not tell us before the CVS repository change.
