For each RELEASE: prune its pre-release points in time. Appetites for historic dates are sated elsewhere, at pages such as:
- <https://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.3R/schedule/>
- the schedule at <https://www.freebsd.org/releases/12.4R/>
- and so on.
Think beyond the newsflashes page itself. With no more than six flashes represented at the [[ https://www.freebsd.org/ | FreeBSD Project home page ]], timely pruning will significantly improve first impressions of this area of the page. For posterity (captured today) – **three of six flashes are redundant**:
- <https://web.archive.org/web/20221220144528/https://www.freebsd.org/>.
Improved the preamble (the text that precedes dated flashes), partly by moving GNOME- and KDE-related texts to the News page.
