|---|---|---|
| 176 ↗ | (On Diff #7087) | How about granted, facilitating user contributions. |
| 178 ↗ | (On Diff #7087) | Works for me! |
| 219 ↗ | (On Diff #7087) | Probably these and other occurrences should really be colons: BulkTracker: Track bulk build status But it's not a big deal. |
| 535 ↗ | (On Diff #7087) | This changes the meaning of the sentence. I can't say either is incorrect. |
| 584 ↗ | (On Diff #7087) | Oddly enough, the AP style is just "aka" without periods. That is the version used in igor. |
| 798 ↗ | (On Diff #7087) | Still kind of clunky. The "not fooled" implies a security aspect. But I can't suggest a better rewording at the moment. |
| 1164 ↗ | (On Diff #7087) | I leave these. &os; is presumably so someone could fork the OS and rename it. (Granted, that is unlikely to carry over the status reports). The FreeBSD Foundation would not be renamed in a fork, though. |
| 2109 ↗ | (On Diff #7087) | These occur in several places. If we are talking about the name of the FreeBSD arch branch, it should probably be <tt>arm64</tt>. Likewise for ARMv6 or armv6. If it is the vendor name for their processors, capitalized like they want it, if it is our term for a branch or filename, <tt> around it. |

|---|---|---|
| 535 ↗ | (On Diff #7087) | It does, but I believe the new meaning makes more sense -- tap(4) creates virtual loopback interfaces, not virtual interfaces to the existing hardware ones. |
| 584 ↗ | (On Diff #7087) | We seem to have a lot of a.k.a. in the tree, and I didn't see any non-dotted ones skimming the trivial grep output. |
| 798 ↗ | (On Diff #7087) | We could take a different tack and say that "devices are removed so that any hardware changes made while the machine is suspended are correctly handled". |
| 1164 ↗ | (On Diff #7087) | True, but the file is not consistent in this regard. (I did check before changing it.) |
| 2109 ↗ | (On Diff #7087) | I think I agree with everything you say, but can't quite tell what you're advocating for here :) |

|---|---|---|
| 535 ↗ | (On Diff #7087) | Good enough for me. |
| 584 ↗ | (On Diff #7087) | I cribbed from AP style for other elements of igor, so did this as well to be consistent. I suspect the AP style is just because it's uglier with the dots, but whatever. Nobody will complain either way, most likely. (But also, we have lots of terrible style and usage problems in the existing docs, and I have had people use them as justification for new ones, so we have to watch for that.) |
| 798 ↗ | (On Diff #7087) | That's good. |
| 1164 ↗ | (On Diff #7087) | It should be mostly consistent. I mean I tried to be consistent, just generally leaving "FreeBSD Foundation" as a literal and using &os; for anywhere that it was referring to the OS itself. |
| 2109 ↗ | (On Diff #7087) | Context-based. ARMv6 is how the vendor calls their processor line, while <tt>armv6</tt> could refer to the software branch that runs on it. The <tt>armv6</tt> branch of &os; runs on ARMv6 processors. But this did not occur to me until I had changed some. Again, I suspect nobody will complain. |
