Via <https://old.reddit.com/comments/giaz0j/-/fqeekss/>: 

Unix directory hierarchy history | Pixelstech.net
<https://www.pixelstech.net/article/1477109665-Unix-directory-hierarchy-history>
(2016-10-21)

The response in Reddit compared these two manual pages – /sys/ is documented in
the first but not the second: 

<https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=hier&sektion=7&apropos=0&manpath=2.11+BSD>

<https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=hier&sektion=7&apropos=0&manpath=4.3BSD+NET%2f2>

If I recall correctly, the symbolic link is for compatibility and not purely
historic.
