ppp is in the same boat. Ruslan has done the same amount of
good/evil to that (ppp's man page is now different in OpenBSD - and
NetBSD if they ever chose to import it).... I looked at the patches
and decided that what Ruslan did was a benefit and therefore didn't
say anything - I'm pretty sure Ruslan did the same (we're now in a
position where we can argue that FreeBSD is right and {Net,Open}BSD
is wrong).
IMHO being able to say ``.Nm .'' is a good thing. I don't think
anyone should chastise Ruslan for progression !
