I think so. I had written rather more on the subject but deleted it as I thought I would be unlikely to convince you!

PS I added a subheaduing in mmap.2 and am wondering about whether
msgop.2, semop.2, shmop.2, and getopt.3 could do with some
restructuring and/or headings to make their structure clearer.

The odd thing about msgop(2) is that there is no msgop(2). I suggest fixing that by removing the text "msgop" from the page, and renaming it to msgsnd.2 or msgrcv.2, and having msgop.2 link to it.

Other than that I have no problem with the structure of the page, as one probably needs to understand sending and receiving together.

In getopt.3 I would have a heading for the long variants.

shmop.2 has the same problem as msgop.2, and looks like it could do with per-function headings.

semop.2 actually exists! and I have no problem with its layout.
