Excellent.
>Sure, i'd be happy to reflect any changes.
And the people rejoiced and celebrated, because they would soon,
finally, have s6 man pages.
>Ah, okay - thanks for the heads-up.
Also a heads-up for people who are currently using s6-rc, including
in elaborate distribution-integrated setups: don't worry, no matter
how things shape up, the current version of s6-rc is going to be
supported for a looooong time.

I think that solely depends on the number of such links. If there are
just a few, it's fine. If there are a lot of links in a page, it would
make reading pretty unwieldy. Because I think there are a few pages with
too many links, maybe it would be best, for consistency, to just use
footnotes?

Maybe mdoc even has a mechanism for footnotes? I don't know.
>*nod* i'll try to put together an email with the relevant information, and start hanging out on #s6. :-) i'm usually on Freenode, in #voidlinux in particular, but not necessarily active at the same time as others - i'm in Melbourne.au.
We don't care much about timezones. You can find people to interact
with
at almost any time of the day, and if not, we generally answer as soon
as
we're online. ;)
