I seriously doubt it.  None of the gurus have this kind of time.

The body of available UNIX documentation out there, much of which is
listed in the glossary of the FreeBSD handbook, is about as good as it
gets and it isn't all that bad - even as complete a "checklist" as I
could imagine would end up being largely replicating the docs which
these books currently provide.
