We did not have a FAQ mantainer then. Now we have one, and we have the nice people at faq@freebsd.org, which also take care of such things. And then, we have Super Nik, head of the documentation project, which is also very conscious about his "job". You can contact then directly, but I give you the guarantee you want. -- Daniel C.
