I think your point is fair. But I think that its also important to understand that as a community driven project installation on CDH is currently the only install path that has been validated.
Until community members begin to test and install parts of the platform elsewhere it is important that they understand that the docs are explained from a particular context. As someone who has installed several different versions of hadoop including CDH I would say that there are often surprising side effects based on who's "best practice install" you have followed for your cluster. My meta question would be; is there a foundation requirement that would lead us to prioritize basic setup and configuration specifically on the apache sources? This would probably derail several of the current "install & config" initiatives.
