imho, it's a mistake to think that all file servers must be listed
in section 4.  some file servers are listed in section 3, because 
they're
in the kernel.  some are listed in section 8 because they are 
adminstrative

commands, that happen to take the form of a file server.  we can argue
semantics, but either way it is done one ends up with the same dilemma
that not all x command are listed in section of(x).

This is the reason why I have overseen it.

Would it be reasonable to ask for the manpage to be moved?

Thanks,
