a93cc87c7e Move out the dates for 5.2-RC2 and 5.2-RELEASE. The 5.2-RC2 dates are moving
out by 10 days, but due to the holidays and new year, the 5.2-RELEASE dates
are a little more fuzzy.

a30ef3ecab Although 'Unanimous Consent' appears to be a well defined and used in
the US Senate, Canadian Parliament and Australian Senate, it was
causing some confusion.  After some consultation with Mark Murray,
change this to 'without objection' since often times a plain-speaking
term is preferable to a regionally used term.

Also, clarify that this procedure is to be used when for more mundane
matters that need a sanity check, but don't need the whole, ponderous
voting proceedure that more difficult issues require.  Core members
that read email in any given 48 hour period are trusted enough to know
the difference and to provide the sanity check as necessary.

555cb01e5a Re-enable the web-based PR submission mechanism.
This code relies on the netpbm port being installed ; this is
already a dependency of the textproc/docproj port.

This comes courtesy of a collaboration with Eric Anderson
<anderson@centtech.com> who submitted both the idea and the vast
majority of the code to implement it; thank you very much, Eric - this
is a great Christmas present to us and our user community.

d5b0c34a4c Change a 'be' to 'may' so that a sentence makes sense. Point at the
definition of 'Unanimous Consent' that is used by the US Senate to
mean 'without objection' in routine matters.  Also say as in this
document for non-US folks who may be unfamiliar with the term and
confused by its use.

86e433abf7 In the platforms list, update the link to the ia64 project pages. The
ia64 project pages live under the ia64 subdirectory, with index.html
the main page. The link was pointing to the old page, which tells you
to update your bookmark. While here, spell IA64 as IA-64. This is
consistent with the spelling in the "What is FreeBSD?" paragraph and
also with the spelling in the project pages.

526d8990da Due to some housecleaning, we no longer need a loran(4) manpage (the
driver's gone).  A digi(4) manpage, however, would be useful.

hea(4) is similarly gone.

bms@ actually wrote a sab(4) manpage but it wasn't hooked up to the
build until yesterday.  Record its new status.

d1ee31674f The NFS problem seems to have evaporated through fixes to other problems
and/or changes in configuration.  Despite significant effort, it has
escaped reproduction for 4 weeks.  Demote it to the 'please test' list.

a9033e1f67 The ATA-RAID panics looks to be related to long-standing robustness
issues, and can only happen if the user takes intentional steps to
cause havok.  Thus, this is no longer a show-stopper.  Thanks to
Doug White for investigating this.
