(thanks whoever you are for your support, somehow I never saw your original reply, just this follow-up that I'm replying to -Mike) I didn't reply to this the first time around, but now I feel I have to... I apologize in advance for anything I say in this message, I've been in a bad mood since I saw my girlfriend off to another city a few days ago... The specific case(s) that was/were mentioned in the PR I closed x also mentioned in PR 12486. It was a duplicate PR. Plain and simple. > Sorry, to report, if this was clear I > would have not asked.

I've already fixed some of the problems even before they entered the bug tracking system. I started looking into this when Jesus originally sent a message to the freebsd-doc mailing list. I fixed some of the easy problems right away, and I'm still working on the hard cases. > One of the problems is the the > remapping/renaming of certain utilities.

I agree. I always try to be clear and to the point on these type of messages. I also noticed the typo, but GNATS doesn't let you enter an editor to fix it up :-(. I was thinking nobody would notice.
