Yeah. One thing that some people seem to miss is that you can have multiple man pages for a topic-- perhaps one that lays out the general outlines, and one for more specific information.

git does this: it has "man gittutorial" and "gitcvs-migration", as well as man pages for each command. It makes a lot of sense and avoids the "giant wall of irrelevant text" approach.

Bash, on the other hand... yeah. Just try finding anything in there.
