The same could be said of policy, but at least in the case of DMs, our
current position seems to be that the principles behind, and the
overview of how Debian works - release included - should be learned
before the "declaration of intention", so putting them together seems
appropriate.
As for NM, I agree that it would be better put after P&P and T&S.
