So basically what has happened is that the online documentation has become
outdated.

And if people are unaware of the man file, because they think it is
something completely separate from FreeBSD, then it becomes easy for them
to miss the documentation that is more up to date.

In the end, if they just added the reference to looking for the man page
on the http://people.freebsd.org/~picobsd/ page, it would at least point a
few more people in the proper direction.
