True. How about this patch:
diff --git a/runtime/doc/repeat.txt b/runtime/doc/repeat.txt
index e2c4c2f..01db5a6 100644

The global commands work by first scanning through the [range] lines and
marking each line where a match occurs (for a multi-line pattern, only the
start of the match matters).
-In a second scan the [cmd] is executed for each marked line with its line
-number prepended. For ":v" and ":g!" the command is executed for each not
-marked line. If a line is deleted its mark disappears.
-The default for [range] is the whole buffer (1,$). Use "CTRL-C" to interrupt
-the command. If an error message is given for a line, the command for that
-line is aborted and the global command continues with the next marked or
-unmarked line.

To repeat a non-Ex command, you can use the ":normal" command: >

There is no problem here. :w when given no address, always writes the
whole buffer.
