Hi Glen,

This is a really great change!

It also notes:

Any chance something similar can happen for /usr/src/UPDATING? In the =
stable/* and releng/* branches, the how-to-upgrade information appears =
nearly 2,000 lines down. Maybe:

- Everything from most recent branch, (or most recent - 1?) onward
- "COMMON ITEMS"
- Everything else
