Well, from my point of view, it is not exclusive. :-) Let say I do not use the tools ’info’ and ’man’, but the manual has a section dedicated to it [1]. Let say I am not excited by LaTex/TeX with Guix, but the manual has a section dedicated to it [2]. And the “Perfect Setup” is about Emacs and links to Magit, other tools that we could ask. Maybe I am not excited by them. Etc. Anyway. I still think this documentation for configuring ’patman’ about “Patch management” is helpful. I think it could be part of the manual. If not for reasons I am missing, at least this documentation should be included in the Cookbook. And from my point of view, if we say that [1,2] fits the manual, then this dedicated section about “Patch management” also fits the manual. If this dedicated section about “Patch management” also does not fit the manual, then [1,2] neither. :-) 1: <https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/guix.html#Documentation> 2: <https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/guix.html#Using-TeX-and-LaTeX> Cheers, simon
