I think we avoid (or at least, have avoided) "you" in our documentation. So e.g. "Please be sure to refer..."

I've asked in the #bsddocs channel and am looking for a canonical reference.

Ah yes, https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/fdp-primer/writing-style/

Write in a formal style. Avoid addressing the reader as "you". For example, say "copy the file to /tmp" rather than "you can copy the file to /tmp".

Looks good to me, but would it be cleaner to just add the two lines below to the list in the [IMPORTANT] section above rather than having two consecutive colour blocks?

I think @jrm is right, this can just go in the existing box:

The German version has a number of separate NOTEs though, so I will leave that as is.
