@section ANSI Conformance
Essentially every type of non-conformance is considered a bug. (The
-exceptions involve internal inconsistencies in the standard.) In SBCL
-the master record of known bugs is in the @file{BUGS} file in the
-distribution.
-
-The recommended way to report bugs is through the @cite{sbcl-help} or
-@cite{sbcl-devel} mailing lists. For mailing list addresses,
-see @ref{SBCL Homepage}; note that as a spam-reduction measure you
-must subscribe before you can post.

ANSI says that doing @code{defconstant} of the same symbol more than

+@subsection Online Documentation
+
+Documentation for non-ANSI extensions for various commands is
+available online from the SBCL executable itself. The extensions
+for functions which have their own command prompts (e.g. the debugger,
+and @code{inspect}) are documented in text available by typing
+@command{help} at their command prompts. The extensions for functions
+which don't have their own command prompt (such as @code{trace}) are
+described in their documentation strings, unless your SBCL was
+compiled with an option not to include documentation strings, in which
+case the documentation strings are only readable in the source code.
