URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/doc/52992

Log:
  Attempt to bring this page into the current decade, part 1: remove news
  from 2011 and previous; point to the mailing list rather then grehan,
  who is now less active; point to the wiki as a better reference of
  currently supported systems.
