Remember that this thread is about someone being unable to build a PDF
from our docs (and the proposed workaround being "insert more page
breaks"), not about how logical the documentation is.

In any case, the ones I listed are the ones that have more structure
documentation-wise (which also are the ones that have received more
attention and thus are of more interest to users), so there is some
logic behind it.

Am I saying that not all contrib modules are created equal?  Yes, I am.
So sue me.
