I'm only speaking for myself here.  If I have a "work in progress" there
is only an extremely small chance that anyone else will make something
conflict with it in that timeframe.  In fact, I do have a work in progress
with dd(1) right now, and the manpage change didn't mess it up at all.
It's always a good idea to check with the maintainer for something, but
speaking for myself alone, I simply don't have a problem with the manual
pages are cleaned up.
