I was referring specifically to training material for users hosted on someone else's network installation. Whomever hosted the person needs to support them - not the codex.
I'm perfectly fine with a section explaining, for example "here's what users in a network experience". that's quite different, as someone setting up a network of sites can offer a multitude of plugins & themes for their users, each different from the next host. Think of it this way - if that same user, hosted on Joe's multisite network, is paying Joe to host him, if they show up in the wp.org forums looking for help, not only is there nothing I can do to help him, I have no idea what options he has available. And if it were me in change of a network, and my users were showing up in the wp.org forums looking for help? Yes, I'd want them pointed back to me. You can use wordpress.com as an example there too - while it's mentioned in the codex, the codex is not the place for support docs for those users. The codex is for documentation for people *running* the network. A.
