The only thing that was added, and herein reverted was incorrect
information that apropos and makewhatis first appeared in FreeBSD 11,
conflicting the much richer HISTORY already present in this manual page.

Please read the full manual page and make comments if you then feel they are needed.

Why reply to my thank you and not the commit that did the revert?
