The existing text: e.g., FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE and FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE, but not FreeBSD 10.3-STABLE or FreeBSD 12-CURRENT. ought to be e.g., FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE and FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE, but not FreeBSD 10.4-STABLE or FreeBSD 13-CURRENT.
I don't think we should update this every time a new version is available, as it only serves as an example. Though, 12.0-CURRENT and 10.3-STABLE do not exist anymore, so I understand that this part is technically not correct. Should we switch to more general version references instead (e.g. A.B-STABLE)?

(In reply to Guangyuan Yang from comment #1) I agree we don't want to start editing this on every release, but I think it wouldn't be onerous to do it once per major release, and having concrete examples makes it more understandable for users. We could just add this to (the/a) list of files to edit per year/release/etc.
