No, I am purposely not being as perfect as I could be in order to
simulate a large class of average users.

When you toy with words like "updates" many average users might get a
different idea.

I vote for more idiot-proofing of the man pages vs. keeping the image
that GNU/Linux is for experts only.

I mean look at gmane.emacs.bugs on gmane.org: this is the style of bug
reporting i've used for years and RMS fixes one or two a week with no
complaints...

On the other hand I dare not do it with iconv, libc6 or else get
bitched at by drepper. so for those tools i 'treat it like
microsoft... no bug reports for them'.
