Jargon File entries are not really high quality definitions and some of them are simply wrong or deprecated since at least 20 years.
I.e. 'cracker' is used for people that 'crack' software protections (games or applications). I've never heard about "warez d00dz", and none of my friends from the "warez scene" did. Also the Jargon files describe crackers in a very pejorative meaning, while in reality the cracker's social circle contain lots of very skilled individuals, as well as is pretty well filtered-out from anyone that doesn't dedicate themselves to the cracker community. Maybe this is the reason why Eric Raymond didn't have much info about this topic.
So I wouldn't put much faith in Jargon file entries in the same way I wouldn't trust any other urban dictionary. Maybe it's good to get a general grasp at some subject but taking definitions from it is pretty misleading.
