See SOLR-10241 I just opened for discussion. My first impulse (well actually second) is to _not_ encourage anyone to hand-edit managed schema, and especially not put that in the ref guide.
But perhaps put the classic schema factory in a comment in basic_configs and direct people there (and maybe even from the ref guide) if they want to do the classic managed schema. So I think the direction here is to say, basically: 1> if you want to hand-edit, use classic schema factory, see the comments in configset XX 2> Otherwise use managed schema and modify it via the rest API. and leave out mention of hand-editing managed-schema, that's expert level stuff. FWIW, Erick Which is entirely separate from clarifying the ref guide....
