Let's not have speculation.

The scope for openssh manual pages is to address the components specific 
to the openssh suite.

The manuals are not remedial tutorials to cover the basics of system 
administration.  There are already whole websites dedicated to that 
level of training even if it might no longer be available at college.

You can submit a patch to the manuals or the source code if you have the 
skill to make changes and make a diff of your changes.  What happens to 
that patch after being submitted is a whole different matter. (*)
