Please use semantic newlines. See man-pages(7):
$ MANWIDTH=72 man man-pages | sed -n '/Use semantic newlines/,/^$/p';
Use semantic newlines
In the source of a manual page, new sentences should be started on
new lines, long sentences should be split into lines at clause
breaks (commas, semicolons, colons, and so on), and long clauses
should be split at phrase boundaries. This convention, sometimes
known as "semantic newlines", makes it easier to see the effect of
patches, which often operate at the level of individual sentences,
clauses, or phrases.

You should probably merge both fields with a single paragraph. See for
example 'stx_dev_major' and 'stx_dev_minor'.
ok, I'll try to merge. I do note that we then will still have
stx_atomic_write_segments_max in a separate paragraph.
Thanks,
John
