>Description:
<bikeshed color="puce">
We have two references in the Handbook to the FreeBSD Mall. Since
Wind River has stopped supporting FreeBSD, this seems a bit out of
place. I would suggest that either replace those links with links to
another vendor, or just have no link and tell people to search for a
supplier.
I'm providing patches for the former, rather than the latter, as I
think links are a) kinder to the end user, and b) the Daemon News
folks are actually interested in contributing back to the community.
I don't care which is done, I would just like to suggest that either
is more appropriate than what we're doing now.
</bikeshed>
>How-To-Repeat:
This is my first stab at including two patches in a single file, so it
might very well not behave well. Seems to work for me, on my badly
mutilated -doc tree. :)
