As far as I can tell, this is as ready as it's going to be. If we find issues afterwards, we can fix those in the handbook, rather than putting more and more stuff into this review.

bcr requested changes to D51279: started working on a chapter for pkgbase.

Some sentences should be rewritten to avoid the use of "you". I've made a couple of suggestions towards this. There may be other instances (search for "you" and rewrite accordingly). This often results in the use of active voice (i.e. "Use FreeBSD" instead of "You could use FreeBSD") as a positive side effect.
No more content changes as far as I can tell.

@ziaee Do you think we can commit this as part of your list of doc changes needed for pkgbase? It's a start and I'd rather have something in the handbook that we can commit extension to before we try to add more to an ever growing review. Any thoughts? Do we need more reviewers?
