Might add that unix programs are configured by editing text files, often in
/etc or $HOME, and have a certain tendency towards conceptual simplicity.
If something can't be reasonably described in a man page, then that thing
does not have the tao of unix.
The original schism was multics/unix. Unix came away from that with a
culture of simplicity and function, sacrificing feature-completeness.
Multics had something that might be like polkit, unix had something that
could be described in a manpage, and so on.
