That's the beauty of OpenSource, you're free to re-invent the wheel ad nauseum.
I particularly loved this gem in a man page on Corel (Debian) Linux, it suggests some of the other ways to accomplish the desired RTFM results:

.\" @(#)tar.1 1.11.1 93/19/22 PJV;
.TH TAR 1 "22 September 1993"
.SH NAME
tar \- The GNU version of the tar archiving utility
[...SNIP...]
.SH BUGS
.LP
The GNU folks, in general, abhor man pages, and create info documents instead.
The maintainer of tar falls into this category. This man page is neither
complete, nor current, and was included in the Debian Linux packaging of tar
entirely to reduce the frequency with which the lack of a man page gets
reported as a bug in our defect tracking system.If you really want to understand tar, then you should run info and read the
tar info pages, or use the info mode in emacs.
