With the 5-Stable Roadmap, that most of us will have read by now, in mind, specifically this bit: The manual pages, Handbook, and FAQ should be free from content specific to FreeBSD 4.x, i.e. all text should be equally applicable to FreeBSD 5.x, Since at the moment RELENG_4 and CURRENT have some disparities, I think we have three options: i) Branch the doc/ tree; ii) Abandon the "doc/ reflects life with -stable" approach; iii) Muddle through adding s, etc and get ourselves in a state. Which one should we be going for ? Also, I think now is a good time to kill all 2.x and 3.x stuff from the docs. I could be convinced that 3.x should stay - I'm unshakeable on 2.x, but that doesn't mean I'm about to barge ahead and do it. Discuss.
