That's a different story. Reading man pages is not a functional requirement, depending on the point of view. A system *can* run fine even without manual pages (and the corresponding reader/formatter) installed. But we digress, since this has nothing to do with the original conversation. Nobody proposed a system without man pages. Meanwhile, nobody reviewed Antonio's code yet. -- My preferred quotation of Robert Louis Stevenson is "You cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs". Not because I like the omelettes, but because I like the sound of eggs being broken.
