Re-opening.
Policy does not allow for such an exclusion.
Reiterating:
Each program, utility, and function should have an associated manual
page included in the same package. It is suggested that all
configuration files also have a manual page included as well.
Manual pages for protocols and other auxiliary things are optional.
Peace.
