Hello man7.org maintainers, You have many man pages that are categorised as being in section 1p (currently 175, according to https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/dir_section_1.html). Perhaps you might want to consider adding an explanation to intro(1) what "1p" actually stands for? Currently that explanation can only be found in your changelong as far as I can tell:
"Once upon time Andries added a number of Section 1 manual pages
to man-pages. However, since that time, those pages have not
seen much maintenance, and are not in fact distributed in most
distributions. Instead most distributions supply the
coreutils versions of these pages, which are currently
maintained. In addition, man-pages provides the 1p pages,
which document the portable subset of functionality of these
commands. Since the man1 pages are mostly unneeded, and
out of date, I'm removing them."
