--- Comment #7 from Mitchell Horne <mhorne@freebsd.org> ---
(In reply to Graham Perrin from comment #0)

In my opinion, maintaining a complete list of the directories under /usr/sr=
c in
hier(7) is unproductive. It will always tend to be out of date or incomplet=
e in
some way, for little gain. The source of truth for this layout information =
is
/usr/src/README.md; I think we should point readers there instead.

I note that the information is duplicated again in the Developer's Handbook
[1], and is differently outdated (stand/ is missing, at least). This further
illustrates the problem.

If folks find my take agreeable, I have the bandwidth and interest to take =
on
the task of removing this information from hier(7) and augmenting README.md=
 as
necessary.
