Couple of things I noticed that are a bit out of date:

  • The ntpdate entry in bsdinstall still says it "will soon be retired" — it's been deprecated for a while now, so I reworded it to just say that.
  • The STABLE branch explanation in cutting-edge used FreeBSD 10.1 as the example, bumped it to 14.1.

- bsdinstall: ntpdate description said it "will soon be retired" which
  has been the case for a while now; reword to just say it's deprecated
- cutting-edge: STABLE branch example still referenced FreeBSD 10.1,
  update to 14.1

Thanks Po Han!

The Release version plus all additional development on that branch. _STABLE_ refers to the Applications Binary Interface (ABI) not changing, so software compiled for earlier versions still runs. For example, software compiled to run on FreeBSD 10.1 will still run on FreeBSD 10-STABLE compiled later.

I have an idea to make this even better so we don't have to keep doing this. Give me a week.
