The article discusses a specific option for puremagic's greylisting.
- It tells users to install mysql40-server and perl5.16; neither of
which exist any more.
- The last edit was 2015, by me, to switch from `pkg_add` to `pkg`.
- It encourages users to download code from a third-party website,
without validation, via HTTP (not even HTTPS).
- The code itself has to be patched to compile
and more generally the FreeBSD project is not in the business of
teaching end users how to run an anti-spam mail server.

- combine the 'how to contribute' doc and the 'contributing to ports' doc.

No objections from: bdrewery, gavin, wblock
- 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
- using a custom gcc should be done within poudriere
- there is a framework for choosing a ports compiler anyways
- this article is incomplete w.r.t. modern gcc verisons
- encouraging people to add global options like `mssse3` is dangerous
- the original reason to use a custom gcc is gone (our old gcc was
outdated)
- comparing 'Linux' vs 'FreeBSD' is comparing apples and fruit: one is
just the kernel and the other is a specific distribution.
- the license 'debate' is well covered elsewhere
- it still references CVS
- comparing the development style of '300 committers' vs 'going through
the maintainer' is a straw man and doesn't reflect how Linux works (or
how BSD works)
- the supported platforms list is old and incorrect
- the "Extensible Frameworks" section belongs elsewhere
- the 'security' section is a feature list, not a comparison and is
missing important features
etc.

If I understand correctly the build broke because the non-english articles
import from the english version of fbsd-from-scratch.
Remove the translated articles for the articles I removed in English
reasonable to maintain the reference, use the archived docs.
