I think we all miss JKH's contributions, but he's moved on to greener pastures. Let's work with what we've got. > The definition of what is -stable has been relaxed in the past 2 years.

The handbook is a living document, it will change. The current definitions explain how FreeBSD works now. If you don't like how it works, it's much more effective to volunteer and effect change from the inside out than it is to point fingers and make empty suggestions. If you are not qualified to help, then it is also unlikely you understand all the issues pertaining to your request.
