(Of course we will update them again for the coming soon 7.0-RELEASE and
   RELENG_7 in the future.)

- Update numbers of contributors (more than 350 committers and 9 people
  in core at the moment)

- Use http://www.freebsd.org/snapshots/ instead of the old style Snapshot

- Replace current.FreeBSD.org (aka. snapshots.jp.FreeBSD.org) with
  http://www.freebsd.org/snapshots/.
