Probably should be 'manng' (for 'next generation'), or perhaps mand (to
fit in with systemd) ;)
Anyway, isn't this where the differences between say "man something" and
"man 5 something" come into play? Or rather, the implication that
section 1 (or whatever) may only hold a basic overview, and then section
5 (or whatever) will hold the full documentation.
TBH though, I kind of follow what everyone else has been saying -- the
manpages are more quick-reference type things ("how do I make tar use
bzip again?") rather than a 200-page treatise on how to set things up
from scratch.
