I'm glad to hear it's all going well!  FreeBSD is put together in such a
way that it is enjoyable to work with - things tend not to change places
between releases, and if they do it's usually for a cogent reason.  The
documentation is great, and so is the community.  I hope you enjoy your
stay!

Thanks!  I will rewrite it a bit and submit a PR.  If the maintainers
agree, then it'll get in, I guess.
