Correct. And Oracle too.

I find it unbelievable that someone from a company that is shipping a
GeoServer with extra functionality, that is not contributed back to
GeoServer, thinks to have the
right to call out other developers out on outdated docs, but for
functionality that is actually contributed and improved over time for
everybody's benefit.
But even without going there, just to show you a counter example, can you
tell me where in the GeoServer guide we can find the equivalent of this?
http://suite.opengeo.org/4.1/cartography/rt/barnes.html
To paraphrase, why is that documented only in the OpenGeo Suite site?
docs.geoserver.org has various bits of outdated and incomplete
documentation, if you find bits are lacking you're more than welcomed
to improve them. Or to provide help in other ways, thus freeing other devs
time for writing more docs. Don't know, answering mails on the
users list, fixing bugs found in the tracker, helping to keep the build
servers going, updating the CITE tests, and so on
Cheers
