I'm definitely -1 on that; there are too many distinct packagings and they
change asynchronously to our releases. As a concrete example, the docs
for Red Hat's version needed to change when they moved from SysV init
scripts to systemd boot. Would we want to keep *both* versions of that
in our manual, and explain exactly which RHEL/CentOS/Fedora versions the
different texts applied to? No thanks ...
