The "last modified" date comes from the $FreeBSD$ tag, but only the one
in the book.xml file. So it is misleading, and usually not the date of
the most recent update to the book. Fixing this would require scanning
the document sources for the most recent date in the doc toolchain,
which is possible, it's just something that needs to be done.
I'll update the copyright, and that will also change the date in
book.xml. So it will be correct until one of the other files changes...
