Created attachment 175809
  --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D175809&action=
=3Dedit
major patch to security/security.xml

This is part 3 of 3 different patches to the Security page on the website. =
 It
is the most intrusive one.

There are two parts to this: the content changes, and the reordering.

The content changes are to reflect the fact that two different support mode=
ls
are defined in the page.  The text mostly stays the same, but is reworded to
reflect, in order, "here is what the support model is now; but FYI, here is
what the support model was previously".

The reordering changes consolidate existing text but adds more h2 subheadin=
gs,
each with an entry in the new Table of Contents:

 * The TOC now switches places with Reporting FreeBSD Security Incidents, w=
hich
becomes the first entry in the TOC.  (This is a little hard to see in the d=
iff
due to the other changes in the TOC.)

 * The next two items become Recent FreeBSD Security Advisories and
Understanding FreeBSD Security Advisories.  The former existed as such; the
latter text was buried down at the bottom of the page and had no header.  T=
he
text itself is mostly unchanged (see above).

 * The next section continues to be "How To Update Your System".

 * The next section continues to be "Supported Releases".  However, the
paragraph including "the support model has been changed" and the 2 after it=
 are
moved below "Supported Releases" into a new section called "The FreeBSD Sup=
port
Model."  Although the paragraphs are reordered, the content is mostly uncha=
nged
(see above).

 * The last section is the new "The FreeBSD Support Model", which only
consolidates existing content.

So the overall page flow is: Security Incidents; Updating; Supported Releas=
es;
Support Model.

To me this makes the page flow much better, and assumes less knowledge on t=
he
part of a user unfamiliar with our procedures.
