So I've upgraded my systems to 4.10, and found <http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.10R/relnotes-i386.html>. I found several issues in this page, such as cam being listed under Network Protocols, various English nits, and a bunch of empty sections. Is this worth updating, for people like me who read the release notes on the main website (and haven't upgraded already), or not really, under the theory that people won't see updated release notes? I don't see anything that needs to go into errata, which takes updates post-release... Also, even if it's not worth updating, I'd like to understand exactly how this page gets generated. I see this tag near the top of relnotes-i386.html: <p class="PUBDATE">$FreeBSD: src/release/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/relnotes/common/new.sgml,v 1.22.2.410.2.3 2004/05/22 00:22:41 hrs Exp $<br /> but after cvsup to RELENG_4, /usr/src/release/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/relnotes/common/new.sgml doesn't contain the content in the HTML. Is it immediately cleared out after each release for the next release (4.11R in this case)? If so, that seems to imply that release notes for a release are never updated once the release is announced. Am I understanding correctly, or are 4.10R notes only available from a specific tag, or am I completely off in the weeds? On a forward-looking note, I notice that references like ports/UPDATING are not links -- is there any reason they shouldn't be?
