Updated release note: tzdata2007g [1].
[1] Technically I should remove the &merged; entity here but the commit has
a one-week MFC-after so I figure I can leave it this way for now.

pointer to the installation chapter of the Handbook (it might be a
good idea to sprinkle a few more through this article).
De-emphasize the floppy disk part of installation media; it's
generally believed that most users install from CDROM or DVD
nowadays.
Use &arch.* entities where appropriate.
Bump copyright date while here.

top-level release/doc directory. We were building in share/sgml first,
which caused us to autogenerate hardware notes entities in the wrong
format (we want to build these via ${RELNOTES_LANG}/hardware/Makefile,
in order to get the HWNOTES_MI variable).

for quite some time. All relevant content has been moved to the
installation chapter of the FreeBSD Handbook, which will be the
single source of FreeBSD installation instructions.
In addition to removing redundancy, this change also removes the last
of the machine-dependent documents in the release documentation
set (the release notes and hardware notes were unified to produce
machine-independent documents).

/etc/rc.d/sendmail whether or not to run newaliases if the database
is missing or the aliases text file is newer than aliases.db.
In my opinion, the aliases file should never be automatically rebuilt.
The current text form could represent a work in progress. Therefore,
in FreeBSD 7.0, this new option will default to "NO". When this rc.d
change is MFC'ed, it will need to remain "YES" to maintain backward
compatibility.

went away around the time of 5.0, when doing binary upgrades from
within sysinstall (at least from 4.X) was deemed hazardous due to the
huge differences between these two major versions.
It's much less risky now, and it's also high time that we mentioned
freebsd-update(8) too.

FreeBSD).
