 Good catch Kim,
 
 Another suggestion would be to link the FAQ to the hand book or vice versa =
 and manage only one definition.

 >Description:
 On the FAQ here: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/faq/introduction.html
 
 It says, when explaining the different releases:
 
 "Briefly, -STABLE is aimed at the ISP, corporate user, or any user who want=
 s stability and a minimal number of changes compared to the new (and possib=
 ly unstable) features of the latest -CURRENT snapshot."
 
 This is highly contradictory to the information provided several places in =
 the Hanbook.
 
 For example:
 
 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/current-stable.html
 
 "This is still a development branch and, at any given time, the sources for=
  FreeBSD-STABLE may or may not be suitable for general use. It is simply an=
 other engineering development track, not a resource for end-users."
 
 
 >How-To-Repeat:
 
 >Fix:
 I think having a FAQ section outside of the Handbook is a problem. It would=
  be better, easier to keep track of things, if the FAQ is moved to the Hand=
 book and then the above information corrected.
