He probably hates the stupid notices at the top of the man page telling you
how out of date it is. Either provide a good man page or no man page.
Incorrect man pages are completely useless, and correct man pages that say
they're incorrect are almost as bad.
As a texinfo victim myself, I definitely see his point and admire his
conviction :)
