There is a thread on Gentoo Forums about Gentoo Handbook being outdated:

I'm not sure if the user is going to file a bug or not, so I just
decided to post here. Please note that more updates would be needed, for
example the syntax for /etc/conf.d/net has changed.

We know. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=213988

It's not just the handbook. It's hundreds of pages that need updating. It looks like I'll have to do them all by myself. That's why I haven't touched any of them yet.
