(In reply to Graham Perrin from comment #10) (In reply to Sergio Carlavilla Delgado from comment #6) <https://lists.freebsd.org/search> was recently promoted without the promoter(s) describing it as experimental.

Created attachment 245492 [details] Screenshot of content to which readers of the FreeBSD Handbook are directed Closing note, from the reporter of this bug: my pull request included the attached screenshot. IMHO, it's no longer appropriate for the FreeBSD Project to steer readers towards areas such as these, but that's just my humble opinion, as a person who has no interest in things such as GBL or GHB.
