Well, that's true. At least from my side. And I think there's a fair bit
of rationale behind it too: these docs are intended for the helpless users,
if you're writing them for Alexandre, you're wasting our time.

That's a valid point. You see, it's easier sometimes to say what you
don't like, than what you like. In this case, it may make a lot of
sense to have a hierarchical organization, in which case my only argument
would be for a more tidy UI.
