And, for that purpose alone, I'd recommend finding a way to make as
many detailed design documents public and accessible as possible.

That's where this sort of documentation belongs -- in its proper
context as an implementation detail of the system, and not in a man
page where it will (inevitably) be confused with a supported feature,
and hurt someone.

What's next?  A man page for ip_wput_local(9F)?
