Grammatically, English requires a comma after 'i.e.' because it is an
adverbial phrase functioning as a conjunctive adverb.

If you translate 'e.g.' idiomatically as "for example", then it is also
a conjunctive adverbial phrase requiring a comma.

  igor follows American style guides in the belief that abbreviations i.e.
  and e.g. are always followed by a comma.  Make that change now so that
  future updates to freebsd-update.8 do not complain about this.
