Has anyone informed the www/doc team that the link to 40upgrade.tgz is
broken from http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html?

I'm also a bit confused by what is discussed above.  Will makes it sound
like a 4.0-REL system needs both 40upgrade.tgz AND 41upgrade.tgz, which to
me doesn't sound correct - 40upgrade.tgz should move a 4.0-REL system up to
4-STABLE (as of date of downloading the upgrade kit) as far as ports are
concerned, and not requires two upgrade kits.
