Yes, I'd also prefer to Not see a load of deletes, some of those things
are expected in Unix, (aka UCB ring binder manuals on my shelf).

Better to give more useful references in man/ to point
to exact full paths in /usr/share.  It'd make FreeBSD easier for
some, & more readers could bring more fixes to keep them up to date.

Cheers,
Julian
