We have nothing to do with that documentation and never tell users we think
it's correct.

Michael Kerrisk who's basically running the man-pages project is on this list AFAIK but let me CC him explicitely.


IMO we should work together with him in a way that benefits both our projects, so let's find out how this can be done.

Btw. I talked recently with Michael and I'm going now to add Michael to the CC list in bugzilla in the manual list. We often get bugreports about manual pages, so let him look directly at them...
