Since some time (since when ?) the vt has replaced syscons as default, but the i18n section still based on syscons. Recently I had some trouble with localizing my 11.1-STABLE terminal. More about this can be found at https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2017-December/280129.html mail thread.

Even though the oldest supported release (10.3) does include vt(4)
support, it's best to do this as a separate section, since
syscons(4) is still supported, too.  (Syscons provides a couple of
features that vt does not, and has some vocal supporters of those
features, who would probably not be happy to see the syscons
documentation go away.)
