And probably still more stuff; our S5R2 documentation isn't quite the size
of our VMS documentation, but it's getting there (note: no value judgement
is being made).

Actually, it's the Administrator's Reference Manual, but no matter how
thinly it's sliced it's still bologna. *It doesn't belong there, it belongs
in the Programmer's Reference Manual*, which is where we're putting it
(are you listening, AT&T?). The only part useful to admins is the disk
partitioning. The rest is of infinitely more use to programmers than to
admins.
