This change (ehh, rather, perhaps nd/config-split topic) came at an
unfortunate moment.  Until I actually did one integration cycle to
rebuild 'pu' and merge this patch and the other topic, I had exactly
the same reaction as yours above to Duy's comment.  But seeing the
tree at the tip of 'pu' today, I do think the end result with a
single liner file that has configuration for the "reset" command
that is included in config.txt would make sense, and I also think
you would agree with it if you see the same tree.

How we should get there is a different story.  I think Duy's series
needs at least another update to move the split pieces into its own
subdirectory of Documentation/, and it is not all that urgent, while
this three-patch series (with the advice.* bit added) for "reset" is
pretty much ready to go 'next', so my gut feeling is that it is best
to keep the description here, and to ask Duy to base the updated
version of config-split topic on top.
