* Link to the releng web pages for general information, this document

is solely a schedule for 4.6.

* Link to the FAQ/#DEFINE-MFC at our first use of that acronym.

* Make a few 4.5 -> 4.6 changes that slipped through.

* Add an item for us to post the proposed package split for the
  release media 2 weeks before the final release, to give stable users
  the chance to scrutinize our selection of packages for the first CD.
