For memfs support, it was actually covered in the 4.4BSD Release notes.

"We  have also added amemory-based filesystem that runs in pageable
memory, allowing  large temporary filesystems without requiring
dedicated physical memory."

I can't seem to find the 4.3BSD-Reno release notes at the moment, but
the convention is interim releases do not count.
There are examples of that where 4.2BSD is being referenced in inherited
man pages when in-fact the tools actually showed up in 4.1{a,b,c}.
