FYI we have archive of hadbooks and FAQs for past releases at 
http://docs.freebsd.org/doc/. People just often don't know or are lazy to 
browse there, even though I believe it is linked from the footer of the 
handbook. The problem here is that we happen to cover all the supported 
releases in a single handbook which simply leads to confusion...on the other 
hand you may be right that discrepancies don't happen that often and the 
additional work is not worth it.
