Because as a new user, it's too much to ask me to look in 10, 15 (or in the case of Oracle) 3*10^6 manuals. Sure, user manuals become out of date. So instead of making later people fork it, setup a "Hurd Users Manual" project on Savannah and give a number of people checkin and admin rights to it. That way when the current maintainer gets tired of it, a new person, irritated at how out of date the manual has become can pick it up instead of forking or writing a new one. New users will still know that foo.nongnu.org has a hurd users manual.
