So I see:

(just to list a few)

bash
GFDL
hgignore
hgrc
pdfimages
gzip
gzcat
xine-config
zip
libfontconfig

I really don't like finding ersatz advertising in the documentation.


Is there any plan to clean up the eratz advertising that is currenting in the man pages?

This is not advertising. It is attribution and/or verbatim use of third-party man pages.

Remember that man pages are also source files. When we use third-party man pages or take information from third-party sources, we must explicitly cite the attribution in/for those sources. That's what you're seeing in these kinds of pages.
