Mostly same as https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=261816 but some is missing in both, so not sure which to close as duplicate. (In reply to PauAmma from comment #1) Close the 'less complete issue' duplicate of the first. If that tie cant be broken, default to closing the later (id) bug duplicate of the earlier. @Graham I have original VSD's, and I believe it can export into other scalable formats (svg perhaps) (In reply to Kubilay Kocak from comment #2) When closing in favour of earlier or another subsuming issue, make requests (or do it yourself) for any missing content (attachments, etc) to be added to the other issue Thank you both. (In reply to PauAmma from comment #1) <https://reviews.freebsd.org/D35345#801307> and <https://reviews.freebsd.org/D35345#801313> some suggestions, partly overlapping with this bug 263571. If contentious, or misplaced in D35345: we can look towards a separate review. (In reply to Graham Perrin from comment #4) Separate is better, I think. I have other FAQ changes planned anyway. <https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/faq/#stable> > What is the FreeBSD-STABLE concept? The question is not entirely answered. It seems to omit the essence: application binary interface (ABI) stability. From <http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/stable.html#_that_word_does_not_mean_what_you_think_it_means>: >> The name "-STABLE" is frequently misunderstood. It does not mean >> solid or steady. -STABLE means that while code can change, the >> ABI (Application Binary Interface) will remain stable and not change. >> Programs compiled to run on FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE, or 10.1-RELEASE, >> or 10.2-RELEASE will continue to work on FreeBSD 10-STABLE. >> Effectively, -STABLE is the latest version of FreeBSD you can get >> without breaking installed software. ^Triage: reporter is committer, assign accordingly. ^Triage: Reporter is committer, assign accordingly Any committer may commit to any repository with an accepted review from any committer with existing access to that repository.

The idea behind this rewrite has been to simplify the FAQ and make it more accessible. The FAQ is an entry point to FreeBSD, for more complete questions we have the Handbook.
