Seems very unlikely the situation changes for Squeeze, but something can still be done to provide the kFreeBSD's RN for Wheezy.

Squeeze Release Notes have never been suitable for kFreeBSD, nobody ever cared before we actually remove the spurious versions out of the website a few weeks ago, and someone just proposed an early (and incomplete) patch to #690706. It seems like removing the spurious doc without removing the link to it already got a positive result*, but your other proposals may provide better results. > Why not taking the short way and telling the whole story on the respective web page > instead of letting people write mails and sending them from here to there? Would you mind asking the release-notes maintainers their opinion about your proposals (maybe via the already open #690706)? My guess is they won't stop anyone from improving our users, and would gladly acknowledge a proposed solution/patch/help. Regards David P.-S.: *Even if the attached patch may be an accurate long term solution, I would prefer if something more positive could be tried in the mean time, because simply removing it now does not rely seem in line with “We will not hide problems”.
