Sure :-) Depending on which manpages are included, I think that shipping these manpages and running the risk that they are out-of-date is better than not shipping them at all. If they are for fairly basic packages then I believe that most of the info in them is generally correct. The AUI (application user interface) of basic packages doesn't change an awful lot over time. I mean, how much has the invokation of for example rm changed of the last decade or so?
