The following reply was made to PR docs/84265; it has been noted by GNATS. From: garys@opusnet.com (Gary W.

Some will think it says too much, or says it in the wrong manpage, but it looks good to me. (I'd probably delete "by design...need to".) I hope you include this in the same para as your other sentence. BTW, I forgot that you might just be commenting on the PR and it might not be assigned to you (yet?). Unless I hear otherwise, I'll just forget about it for a while and see later whether I need to do more with it, like write (small?) patches for chown & chgrp, which I'm now thinking should probably refer to this rather extensive explanation in chmod. Unless you think it needn't be mentioned anywhere else.
