"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. --lyndon
