I got your point and I mostly agree with the necessity of producing
useful documentation. Just I don't see why the official documentation
of a distribution (something like the Debian Reference) should include
a guide on how to recover your system when you have messed up things
with a specific bootloader, e.g. LILO, which is something extremely
rare to happen to 99.99% of the typical users :)
