Done.

May I ask why you insist on using an explicit link macro? Are you parsing the report files or it is just for general consistency?

I usually don't use serial commas as they introduce what I think is an unnecessary disruption in the sentence flow (the "and" marks both the nearing end of the enumeration and separates the last two elements). But apparently, it seems common in the US and even recommended in a number of official documents. Anyway, not going to argue more about it here.

Done.

Explicit use of the link macro is necessary because omitting it breaks translations in some languages (I think the ones with non latin alphabets). I do not believe status reports are much translated, if ever, but better safe than sorry.

FreeBSD official documentation also recommends the use of serial commas:

I was looking for a book or article on how to write the documentation and couldn't find one with "doc" in its title. I had forgotten about this document. Thanks!
