Good catch. Romain, I guess the first one is supposed to be "ignore
fan11"?

Also, there's this note:
# 1) as of linux 2.4.21, temp6 is read by lm-sensors but doesn't actually
#    seem to exist in the chip (?), so an error is displayed...

Given that the w83793 driver doesn't exist for Linux 2.4, I guess you
really mean "as of linux 2.6.21"? That's a bit surprising though, as
this driver didn't change in kernel 2.6.21 as far as I can see.

My experience with the W83793 chip on SuperMicro motherboards, is that
a BIOS update can make temp6 appear (or disappear, I guess.) The w83793
driver does only create sysfs files for enable temperature channels, so
when temp6 is disabled, the temp6* sysfs files are missing. Old
versions of "sensors" didn't expect this, it was fixed in lm-sensors
2.10.2.
