Tried this out. The features I normally use seem to be
working OK.

It appears that python-argparse is not installed by
default on some systems. That would have to be added
as an RPM dependency. No big deal, but it might be
nice to add exception processing in the scripts to deal
with not finding it (print a polite error message
instead of spewing a backtrace).

A couple of nits with the man pages:

Filenames (like /proc/self/mountstats) are typically
italicized.

In the synopses, the closing square brace is unmatched.
Either use just an ellipsis, or add a matching opening
brace. Have a look at how this is done in other man
pages.

At this point I wouldn’t call it a full “review” or
“test” but I’ll keep playing with it. I don’t have any
objection to merging these, and you could address my
nit-picks with subsequent patches if you want.
