Designing documentation for exceedingly rare situations is inefficient design? That seems a bizarre way to state what's going on here.

From the "designing documentation", how about there's advantages to avoiding tangents, even technical tangents, that make the documentation longer for little value to the average reader. There are probably a host of questions about how abort() works on various systems and its portability that this section doesn't answer, and it's wasting 10% of the documentation on a political "joke"? Cut that junk and go on.

And yeah, I do appreciate the point RMS is making. It's still not relevant to the documentation.
