I suppose it makes sense, for *supported* versions of FreeBSD.  We
don't really have a definition of supported, but I'd say that it would
be too much trouble to go further back than 2.2.8 and 3.0 (since they
will both be obsolete by the end of the year).  In the case of these
versions, I hope we can just say "compliant".
