Not sure where I go to sign up for those paychecks.  However, even
employers have to accept that policies have a resource cost to them.

Requiring people to do more than the bare minimum often just ensures
that they won't even bother to do the bare minimum.  I'm all for
finding ways to standardize things so that everybody benefits at a
very low cost.  This doesn't seem that, and honestly requiring
packages to bundle pre-built manpages seems a bit non-Gentooish to
begin with.
