- kill the section on Netscape browser, it was removed from the Ports
collection two months ago for long term unpatched security problems.
Its 6 and 7 versions never gained a significant mindshare against Mozilla
anyway.
- remove all other references to Netscape
- update Adobe Acrobat references to mention version 7 and remove the example
for package installation, we don't have Acrobat packages due to licensing
restrictions.
- unify capitalization of the Ports collection

- Remove a chapter on Java and Flash plugins for Mozilla, it was obsolete
(jdk13 is not actual anymore, neither is Flash 5)

state of jdk15 port), second for linuxpluginwrapper which allows users
to run the Linux versions of Flash 6, Realplayer and Adobe Acrobat plugins

This article attempts to provide an introduction to such concepts
as Releases, Branches, and STABLE vs. CURRENT, which are currently
scattered around between the FAQ, various Release Engineering documents,
and folklore on the mailing lists.
The material in the FAQ should probably be deleted and this used as
its replacement. This material does not replace any of the Release
Engineering documentation, but it does attempt to discuss how the
concepts discussed in great detail therein should influence user
decisions on which version to install. In particular, this article
attempts to inform users about the current thinking of the development
team in terms of how future releases are going to be done.
A companion article comparing e.g. 5.X vs 6.X would be useful but is
outside the scope of this commit.
This article is partially a response to the "Quality of FreeBSD" thread
on freebsd-stable in July 2005 (and its many antecedents).

to kernel modules that use devfs cloning in order to accept the new

- We currently state "Install the net/cvsup port"; let's point directly
to the package, in particular cvsup-without-gui since all commands, in
the text, used the legacy "-g"...
- Most of people do not edit the ports-supfile and directly use the -h
argument for the CVSup server, the reader should uses/knows that.
- Keep, as note, the ports-supfile edition for a "hardcoded" CVSup
server
- I kept the odd <link linkend/<xref linkend way, maybe this should be
fixed
The text should, now, be closer to what we do when it's time to CVSup
the Ports tree.
