1d1e72c7b8 GEOMification of CCD. 
You need your kernel and ccdconfig(8) to be in sync, particularly if your
source tree is on a ccd device.

a34480ec5a Document a workaround for getting past the groff infinite loop problem 
when your userland is older tahn your kernel and Makefile.inc1 therefore
thinks that you don't need to rebuild groff, when in fact you do.  This
workaround is to set OSRELDATE to 500110 before building, but only if you
have a new enough Makefile.inc1.

I've confirmed this on my laptop, which was suffering from this problem.
Since it only hits power users, we'll naively assume that such users are
smart enough to read UPDATING.

3c434e26ac Per previous announcement, remove the old version of the rc system. 
All functionality from the previous system has been preserved, and
users should still customize their system boot with the familiar
methods, rc.conf, rc.conf.local, rc.firewall, sysctl.conf, etc.

Users who have customized versions of scripts that have been removed
should take great care when upgrading, since the compatibility code
that used those old scripts has also been removed.

less space, I think 30MB is a good number.
