      Currently there is no Documentation/man4/Makefile.am that installs the various *.4 man pages for tunable parameters/stats. This was done intentionally to avoid conflicts while there are many such pages being newly added and relatively few of them, which would have caused lots of unnecessary patch contention in this file.

      Before the 2.18.0 release a Makefile.am (or plain Makefile if the build system has changed by then) should be added, with sections for common and server-only pages and appropriate build machinery to conditionally install the server-only pages for non-client builds.

      It should list one entry per line alphabetically within each section (maybe by the basename to aggregate related pages together?) to minimize patch contention.
