I'd like to keep this in the release documentation, because these documents (e.g. the Hardware Notes, Release Notes, etc.) are tied to a specific revision of FreeBSD, just like the GENERIC kernel configuration. (This is why the release notes live where they do in the CVS repository, and why they are branched the same way as the rest of src/.) While the Handbook generally documents the most recent released version of FreeBSD, it's much less version-specific. Bruce. PS. If one were to take a snapshot of this as-yet-non-existent table, put it in the Handbook, and add a notation that it "Applies to FreeBSD FOO.BAR-RELEASE, Your Mileage May Vary", I'd have no objection.
