We need to have an UPDATING_MAJOR to list the changes from the last major release that are user visible.  Otherwise they will have only "minutes" of warning when they install 10.0.

Yes, more info/warning would be good, especially for those not
[always] tracking lists &/or all releases.  Maybe add a "road map"
under http://www.freebsd.org/releases/ so people can see where FreeBSD
is headed, exported in Ascii to src/SOMETHING (& with URL to
newest version on web) ?

PS if one goes to http://www.freebsd.org/releases/
    & clicks "Release Documentation" it breaks going to
    http://www.freebsd.org/releases/relnotes.html 
    should be http://www.freebsd.org/relnotes.html
    No need to report, I just did with send-pr.

Cheers,
Julian
