Indeed, just think about ports with many binaries or, as the next
step, ports with crappy man pages. Then there's the question of quality,
would you expect committers to verify the man page as we do with the
port? That certainly wouldn't work. Last but not least, it would raise
the bar for new porters even higher. They just wouldn't have to learn
writing ports but writing man pages as well (if they were unlucky enough
to choose such a port as their first one).
