They do not. I've only verified that the most recent changes are not in =
there; I
can't say how far back that goes. I'm not sure if there's a schedule for
regeneration. Stick with the source if you have doubts.

Note that while /sys/man is expected to describe the current state of =
the system,
that's not really a good assumption for /sys/doc. Some of those papers =
describe
aspects of the system that have changes significantly since they were =
written
(the paper on 8=BD being the most obvious example).
