Actually the thing I had in mind as I was reading this thread is that an
"embedded FreeBSD" article could (and probably would) go further in
depth than the average handbook section.  *That* to me would be the
advantage of having this stuff as an article.

That said I'm not the guy writing any of this stuff up (at least not at
this time).  I'm glad that people are taking the time to write more
documentation of what I think is a pretty cool feature, regardless of
where it sits in the doc tree.

Cheers,

Bruce.
