I assigned the bug to myself in November 2022, partly because I don't imagine anyone else wanting it. I'm inclined to do as little as possible until stable/12 and releng/12 reach the ends of their lives, this year; and then *prune ruthlessly*. To anyone who'd like the mistake above to be corrected sooner rather than later: please submit a *pull request in GitHub*. (Each chapter of the Handbook includes an invitation to edit; edition occurs in GitHub.) Thanks.
