Correct. To explain why the link is not live yet, i added a sentence
The userland utility is not yet installed by default.
to the 68.html page.
I guess already having the link even though it is still dead is
intentional such that it springs to life as soon as the kstat(1) utility
will be installed by default. Otherwise, we would be likely to forget
as release pages from the past are not very actively maintained.
