For the curious, the reason this doesn't (or shouldn't) affect RELNOTESng is that src/release/doc uses its own stylesheet that explicitly sets what manpage set to use for hyperlink cross-references. This lets the release documentation use a set of manpages appropriate to each release. The doc/ tree uses whatever default is defined by man.cgi. Waitasec. You're not going to *get rid* of the &man.devfs.5; entity are you? Remember that -STABLE isn't always going to be 4-STABLE. When 5-STABLE happens, it's going to be pretty weird to force authors to use &man.current.devfs.5;.
