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. :-)
