I don't think I've seen anyone on this list pushing the position that a Linux messages manual is "unwarranted." I and others have said that it would be very difficult to create and keep updated, given the nature of the development environment. I haven't seen anyone jumping up and down to volunteer for the job, that's for sure.

I talked with a few people who supported VM when they had source for it as well. We also had messages and codes manuals. Our experiences are that using messages and codes manuals is a more efficient way to solve problems than reading the source. Many people seem to be saying that a Linux messages manual is not warranted because you can read the source. Are these statements based on experience supporting a large corporate IT department?
