we don't need to be sending people to the LVS webpages to read man pages.
The people who are forced to come to the LVS website because of
deliberately crippled documentation will not be happy customers
and we will not be thanked for it. There are enough unneccessary
packets traversing the internet already, in the form of glitzy
webpages and spam without a code project adding to the load.
The hardware running the LVS website has a finite life and has to be maintained.
Although the price of hardware now is not much of a consideration, the time
involved in restoring a dead site and the inconvenience of doing so is
considerable.
If you want to send unneccessary traffic to someone else's machine,
you should check with them first that it's OK.
If someone wants documentation in man page format and another person is prepared
to produce it, then it should happen. If another person wants to produce
that documentation as html and put it on a webpage, then he should be able
to do that too and the users can them choose the form of documentation
that they want.
