Definitely a good todo item.  I think the main difference with the
urgency to update the doc-specific items is mostly due to the lack of
SVN->CVS conversion on the backend for csup/cvsup.  But we should
definitely have Subversion /usr/src documented in the Handbook.

Thanks for spotting that.  It really should be "FreeBSD.org" in
uppercase.  I'm only aware of one situation where the hostname is case
sensitive, which is when setting ControlPath in ~/.ssh/config, where
the hostname needs to be, for example, "projcvs.FreeBSD.org".
