Hi again, Shall "first appeared" descriptions in HISTORY section write about -RELEASE, instead of -STABLE? My understanding is YES. I could find an example, growfs(8) which says: : HISTORY : The growfs command first appeared in FreeBSD 4.4. On the other hand, tuning(7) says: : HISTORY : The tuning manual page was originally written by Matthew Dillon and first : appeared in FreeBSD 4.3, May 2001. Actually, 4.3-RELEASE was published in April and 4.3-RELEASE did not include tuning(7). I can understand that this sentence wanted to say that tuning(7) was checked-in to 4.3-STABLE on May 2001. But, I think this sentence is misleading, unless 4.3-RELEASE is done before May 2001. So, how about just replacing "FreeBSD 4.3, May 2001" with "FreeBSD 4.4"?
