6 There have already been bugs opened about it (and closed), we're waiting
7 for a patch from someone who cares because we have higher priority
8 things to do. Most of the applications now have descriptions gotten from
9 a script, but libraries, protocol headers, fonts, etc lack them. It is
10 nontrivial to script the remaining poorly described packages because
11 they lack man pages from which the descriptions could be pulled.

13 Again, we will be happy for this to happen but we cannot commit the time
14 necessary to do it.

16 Thanks,
