Most readers of PD src OSs know a .0 release is adventurous (though page author didnt mention that). Most readers long since would know to search for newer FreeBSDs, & probably see 9.0 was dropped 2013-03-31, 8.5 month back. http://www.freebsd.org/security/unsupported.html > Probably a "known issue", but it could be useful to demand a follow-up post > along the lines "9.2 is now the norm and sysutils/pftop is no longer > broken".

It's just some guy who tried another UX, who ran out of time before he learned all the differences.

Forget law : - Of near 200 sovereign global nations independent legal systems, few might "obligate" web page corrections, & fewer enforce it, & only then if You pay a lawyer. - If something is not a page claiming to be a maintained current comparison, but merely a Blog (= b[.+]log ?) Log of experiences at Date, (as that page does) I see no obligation to waste time updating it. - Don't "Demand" a fix, Offer author a friendly short update ready to drop in, with href= to wherever your research with http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html shows fixes were made. - Target MS for strife, not a BSD or a Linux.
