What do you think? > I don't speak for anyone else but myself (and certainly do not oppose this idea), however I think doing this might add redundant information to the Handbook, meaning, configurations that have already been documented by the respective software vendor. Maybe this type of documentation would be better in separate articles (or better off, maybe the Wiki) for FreeBSD-specific configurations where the vendor's defaults "don't quite work", rather than general How-To configurations.
