Can you > include that in your patch? I could but I have no idea what "corresponding update" might mean in this case. The only place where variable gnus-expert-user is mentioned in the manual (in GNU Emacs 23.2) is section 8.2 Interactive: `gnus-expert-user' If this variable is non-`nil', you will seldom be asked any questions by Gnus. It will simply assume you know what you're doing, no matter how strange. And that description covers everything. Section 6.9.6 Agent Expiry is only about user-interface. There is nothing about files and such things nor about current uses of gnus-expert-user (which do exist in the expiry mechanism). So, to be honest, I feel that my patch fits there just fine without changes in the manual.
