Look more, quote less ...
<incal> for f in **/*.jpg; do exif --remove -o $f $f; done | grep 'Wrote
file' | wc -l # 2277 (1st invocation)

Yeah, and that makes sense. I heard of an initiative to add
support for fake news to Emacs Gnus. Cool, but to have it in
the man pages? Not only are they relied upon for practical
purposes every day literally all over the world, they are also
iconic, almost, so associated and in a positive way with Unix
and everything it stands for.
You are aware the OpenBSD people always brag they have the
best documentation?
Maybe they do, it's hard to say, but clear cases like this
should just be pruned immediately so at least they have to
earn it ...
