 Thank you for this update. I have one comment about this change. While 
 most of the CVS for FreeBSD 1.0 was purposely destroyed, the release 
 announcements leading up to it indicate that FreeBSD contained parts of 
 NetBSD and code from NetBSD developers. It could be fair to keep the 
 arrow indicating FreeBSD was also derived from NetBSD. (It would be a 
 lot better to mention the "patchkits".) Nevertheless, we can't have 
 arrows for every release as there has been continuous code sharing ever 
 since.
 
 (I am slowly writing a book about this family tree -- I have around 200 
 pages and over 75 interviews left to integrate.)
