: understanding has been that in the past .Dd *didn't* automatically get
: updated.  When should it be, when shouldn't it be?  If it should be
: automatic, we should write a macro which sets it from $FreeBSD$.

content changes, but not typos or formatting, is when it should be
bumpped.  Also on MFC, the date used is the one in -current, not the
date that you MFC.  This makes it hard to automate.
