Yeah, I've been looking at those that you've CCd me.  I just thought
that the user-space part of the documentation was minoritary, and that
it was part of a much larger documentation that would include many
internals.  But if most .rst docs are UAPI, then I think it should all
be burnt down to flames.  :-)

Huh!  You're indeed right.  A great percentage of Documentation/ is the
UAPI.

If anyone wants to burn that and send the parts that are missing form
the manual pages, you're invited.  :-)


Have a lovely night!
