No, I'd rather not do that. These flame wars tend to shorten people's
lives, or even end people's lives abruptly.

Seriously: What I was asking had nothing to do with portupgrade or Ruby
belonging to the base system. I just wanted to ask if portupgrade's
particular manpage is maintained by the DocProject, because although
portupgrade is not part of the base system, it's somehow related coloser
to the FreeBSD Project than, for example, lynx or apache. So, while I know
that any documentation for the latter mentioned software comes directly
from the producers of the software, I just thought that maybe the
documentation for portupgrade was at least partly produced in conjunction
with the DocProject. Since this is not so, I now know that I'd have to
contact the maintainer directly if I wanted to report a problem with the
software or its documentation.

Greetings
