"Rewrite" is the key word here.  There is still a lot of
text in the fs manpages that refers to kenfs behaviour that
has been gone for decades.

At this point I think all of the fs- and boot-related man pages
need a quick rm and then we need to start over from scratch.

But for this to work it would need a small group of dedicated
volunteers to do the work. I cannot be one of those right now
(but possibly in a couple of months). I might start tinkering
with some rewrites in the meantime, though.
