But it _is_ actually in that other important FreeBSD document, the FAQ: "7.37. I tried to update by system to the latest -STABLE, but got -RC or -BETA! What's going on?" Btw, one other thing that appears in the FAQ but really should be mentioned in the handbook is "7.41. Why can't I unset the schg file flag?", preferably in Section 7.3 or 7.6.
