Hi Ed,
3 non freebsd.org sites with duff/ non authoritative info. are not The Manual.
You did not say you had read the freebsd.org handbook.

It wastes time, asking on @freebsd.org to read & explain 
mis-perceptions about FreeBSD, published on non freebsd.org domains.

For Authoritative FreeBSD info. refer to freebsd.org, not blog & mag. domains !

		official RELEASE with the addition of critical bug fixes."

PS Re. cvsup above, I filed a bug report:
