ppp is in the same boat.  Ruslan has done the same amount of 
good/evil to that (ppp's man page is now different in OpenBSD - and 
NetBSD if they ever chose to import it)....  I looked at the patches 
and decided that what Ruslan did was a benefit and therefore didn't 
say anything - I'm pretty sure Ruslan did the same (we're now in a 
position where we can argue that FreeBSD is right and {Net,Open}BSD 
is wrong).

IMHO being able to say ``.Nm .'' is a good thing.  I don't think 
anyone should chastise Ruslan for progression !
