Why is Qemu not in Handbook

For years I used Qemu to run Windows XP under FreeBSD. It worked fine.
A few months ago I saw a message that VirtualBox was now working
correctly under FreeBSD. So I tried to install it and it wouldn't
build. But that's not the actual topic of my question. In the process
of trying to install VirtualBox I noticed that Qemu is not mentioned
in the Handbook. It's not even mentioned under "Other Virtualization
Options".  So my actual question is:

Why is Qemu not mentioned in the Handbook?

There is already a PR: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=127923

Even just a mention with a link to http://wiki.freebsd.org/qemu would
be helpful.

Thanks,
