hub.freebsd.org and the supporting 15 year old binaries have gone away.
Highlights:
- Sync up the cgi scripts to be closer to the standard page look
and feel and the canonical url locations.
- Adjust the search controls to include the docs.freebsd.org doc set.
- Replace the remaining wais search references.
- Fix up the embedded paths that depended on a symlink and/or nfs jungle
on hub. These aren't present in the jail this now runs in.
- Fix a typo (stray backtick) in one of the header entities.
- Remove the remaining no-longer-functional gnats components - they
ran on hub and no longer exist.

On behalf of the Release Engineering Team, thank you, Ken,
for your time and contributions to the team.
Ken has been a member of the Release Engineering Team since
the 4.x days, and it is of great personal sadness to see him
leave.
My hat is off to you, and all you have done for the FreeBSD
Project, and I hope you will re-join the team someday.
This page is not salvageable without rewriting it:
- referring to the 4.4 BSD stack as a 'reference'
- the newest FreeBSD version is 7.0 including (broken)
SCTP support
- using outdated terms like "world wide web"
- support for 'Appletalk' and Novell client/server networking
are no longer the makings of a 'true intranet solution'
- running a usenet server is not the goal of most users anymore
- dial-on-demand PPP is not the prime of internet connectivity
- ftp.cdrom.com has not existed in a long time (and 30TB/mo
isn't very high nowadays)
- yahoo runs "ultimate index of the Internet"...
- the only testimonial was written in 1996
- and more :\
If such a page should exist, the content needs to be written.
- remove article about releng packages
- we no longer produce multi-cd releases
- CVS is not our VCS system
- we havn't releaseed with xfree86 is years
- section 1 about the 'ports cluster' is now entirely untrue and
been disclaimed by portmgr
Discussed with: peter, bdrewery, Daniel O'Connor
- references mostly outdated hardware
- doesn't use modern technologies (IPMI, nmdm, bhyve)
- the SUN hardware peculiarities are not useful anymore
- there are other better references on crimping custom serial cables
- MAKEDEV is no a thing anymore
there might be room for a modern version of this article in the handbook
but there is little that is salvageable from this article.
Discussed with: bcr, xmj, sbruno, cem
- move perks into a question rather than its own section
- stop directing people to email me directly and instead direct people
to email the liasion alias
