Of course, however FreeBSD still do things which are not covered in
options(4). For example, explaining exactly what wi(4) is in basic
terms. They do this for most of the drivers on one very easy to
understand page. We should be aiming to explain the kernel in the
most simplest way possible.

I'd really just like everything to be documented on one page.
