Brilliant! > Most of time: yes. I think when it's not possible to just add a little note for 4.X, we should not loose our time trying to make the doc 4.X compliant. On another hand, if we have a note or a "(on FreeBSD 4.X use blahblah instead)" we can keep them since it does not hurt. For the rest, during a section rewritting (to make it totally 5.X/6.X compliant) we can drop legacy 4.X. In fact, I let it to each committer opinion, and as everyone I think making the doc 5.X/6.X compliant is more important than just removing 4.X parts. Regarding the outdating parts or lacks, we (doceng@) currently trying to write a TODO list to sum up the needs. I should post it soon, well if the holidays are not eating all my free time :) Marc --VbJkn9YxBvnuCH5J Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFDpqXLzQ9RwE+OdOgRAhKxAKCFvyGQ0CLplz2Qn16BQEJsGDN6lgCfZOwl KcfDgdc2DwhOUuG6ufdkRas= =oryR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --VbJkn9YxBvnuCH5J--
