We document this kind of thing on the wiki, but the PITA of opening a
browser. Would it be better to have a similar type of file like RELNOTES
and UPDATING to document version bumps? It seems a little silly, though, to
have yet another file, maybe we could incorporate that into RELNOTES in the
form of:
rNNNNNN: <optional: _FreeBSD_version>
Some verbiage.
