That's probably the right approach, for both of us - after all, what we're
discussing is really not very important to anything - it does not really
matter what the man page - I hesitate to call it section, as in man
pages "sections" have a different meaning, but ignoring that, that
is what it is, so - section is called, nor where it is placed.   As long
as the information is there, can be found, and is correct (and ideally
comprehensible as well) that's what really matters.

All the rest is just window dressing, about which there can be
a myriad of opinions, no-one is really right, or wrong, all just have
different opinions - continuing to argue ("discuss") really achieves
nothing, as no-one can really provide any particularly good reason
for their opinion, beyond that they believe it to be correct.

If you move text around, take care to find the "above" and "below" and
similar references scattered elsewhere and make sure they're still
appropriate as well.

And this would probably be better mentioned first on some list that
isn't source-changes-d, and with a Subject that is more informative.
