Since 90% of the users are going to look on the website, and not their local hard disk for this information, I think including pointers on which version of FreeBSD contains the feature in question is not out of line. It may also help convince some users to upgrade from older/stale version if they see some neat feature they need. This may be something we should look at doing in the future, but right now the handbook is too much of a moving target, and trying to maintain/test/view multiple "versions" from the same source seems like too much of a time-sink to me. -- Mike Pritchard mpp@FreeBSD.org "Go that way.
