The release notes for -CURRENT reference the manpages for -CURRENT on
the Web site.  The release notes for 4-STABLE reference the manpages for
4-STABLE on the Web site.  Exactly as it should be.

(It used to be that all versions of the release notes referenced the
manpages for the most recent release.  Clearly that doesn't work.)

If you're saying we should refer to 4-STABLE's manpages for those cases
in -CURRENT where there *is* no manpage, that isn't really going to work
too well.  As it stands right now, we lack the capability to specify
which version of a manpage should be used on a case-by-case basis.  

Cheers,

Bruce.
