<em>six documents, one gap, no decomposition.</em> <strong>It describes what a home cluster
offers to somebody deciding whether to put something on it</strong>, and a reader who
has never heard of any of this still gets what they came for.</p>
<p><strong>It was private, and being unable to link to it is what made the split obvious.</strong>
<em>The operational tree is a version inventory and a target list; the pages telling
somebody what to decide are neither.</em> <strong>So the manifests moved to a private
sibling and the documents stayed</strong><em>and the documents got better for being
written to a stranger, which was not the reason for doing it.</em></p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>A public page naming a private thing as its canonical answer is worse than no
example</strong>, and this page did exactly that until somebody measured it.</p>
