    I'm sorry, but this lurker feels the need to speak.

    While I may not be well versed in *bsd, if Debian is
    working for you, great... use it!

    If you have a direct complaint regarding the
    documentation... PR it. If it's accepted, all the
    better for everyone! If it is not accepted, either
    persevere, or give up. Endless commentary will serve
    nothing (or you are a somewhat successful troll...).

    Use The Tool That Works.
