            Bug ID: 269762
           Summary: config(8): DEBUG KERNELS section needs
                    updating/removal
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any

The text in this section has rotted quite a bit.
 - "building a debug kernel is not the default with FreeBSD" -- this is not
true even for GENERIC-NODEBUG. We always build with debugging symbols and strip
them to the separate kernel.debug
 - Various mentions of disk/memory usage are way too small and should be
dropped.
 - We are too far into the present to be talking about "Traditional BSD
kernels" or 4.4BSD-Lite kernels in this page.

In my estimation, removal is more appropriate at this point. Even with
up-to-date information, I don't know how much value it really provides in this
era where kernel build/install is wrapped by buildkernel and installkernel.
