   8         FreeBSD errata document.  Unlike some of the other RELNOTESng
   9         files, this file should remain as a single SGML file, so that
  10         the dollar FreeBSD dollar header has a meaningful modification
  11         time.  This file is all but useless without a datestamp on it,
  12         so we'll take some extra care to make sure it has one.
  13
  14         (If we didn't do this, then the file with the datestamp might
  15         not be the one that received the last change in the document.)
