I've had in mind all along getting common issues into docs and into repoman, which is why I wrote the original quoting patch. Also, just because something is documented doesn't mean people do it. Furthermore, just because a doc says "write code without bugs" doesn't mean people are physically capable of doing so. More eyes on the code can never hurt.
