 . FreeBSD.SuperfluousOptArgInLinks: Suggest to empty square brackets in `link:` macros when the displayed text coincides with the URL.
 
-. FreeBSD.Weasel: This rule is aimed at avoiding weasel words.
-The concept of weasel words is controversial so at the moment the list of words are being evaluated and the severity level is marked as warning only.
-If a frequently used word is marked as a weasel word it should be removed from [.filename]#.vale/styles/FreeBSD/Weasel.yml# in the `doc` repository.
-
 . Vale.Avoid: Enforces the *DO NOT USE* vocabulary terms for The FreeBSD Project.
 If any word is found that should not be n the documentation the word should be added to the [.filename]#.vale/styles/Vocab/Terms/reject.txt# in the `doc` repository.
 The list is empty at the moment.
