No, I don't agree. They aren't "mostly" obsolete. Some of them are. Some
have both an info and a man pages pointing to an html document instead.
Some have a small man page with some data and a note saying the full info
is in info format. Some do not have an info page, only a very up to date
man page. It's up to the developpers how they document their program -
some do not document it at all!
But a cathegorical afirmation that man pages are "mostly obsolete"... no,
I can't agree.
Try "pinfo" (on the distro). It will display both info and man pages as
available, and will jump from man to man, using as links the references
like "apropos(1)" shown in red.
