Hello Josip!

Thanks for filing the documentation bugs and updating some more with
renewed information. Having the outstanding issues listed is a good
first step for anyone who's motivated to have a go at fixing them
instead of blindly/randomly looking for outdated manpages.

The manpages is a well known weak area of iproute. It would be very very
useful if someone was willing to take on this issue. I expect it to be a
pretty big one, because not only is there a massive work to do getting
the existing manpages up to date - it also needs to be an ongoing work
keeping them up to date since upstream changes happen frequently adding
new features and there's no established workflow that requires doc
updates with code changes. On top of this the documentation system has
fallen apart and there are some original sources that generate docs, but
the generated docs has been manually updated and some parts are just
manually written. A completely new grip on the entire situation would
probably be best to get a new and maintainable documentation system in
place, but that's just my very personal opinion..... Talking about
personal stuff, I don't think I will personally be able to tackle this,
since fixing code bugs is enough work for me already. Help would be
greatly appreciated!

So I'll finish off this mail with a classic comment:

Patches accepted!

(I'll offer to forward them upstream for anyone willing to contribute
them.)
