What benefit does it have to be pointed to something that is
of little help in the first place? It is not as if the
undocumented(1) man page actually provides any documentation, so the
newbies are not really being helped.
Indeed, if it were not for the undocumented(1) man page, many
people may have more of an incentive to actually write man pages.
How about we volunteer to create a man page for some of these
binaries and send it in as a patch/bug to the BTS? How many man pages
are we talking about?
