This may be an artifact of the level of involvement of the doc writers
from Red Hat, who think/work in the book format.

As it happens, when people come to help Docs, they typically want to
work on shorter how-to documents, not get involved in helping maintain a
300 page Deployment Guide. If we do work to highlight these type of
documents - make them front-page centric, different look/header to the
page to differentiate, etc. - we also make this sort of doc work more
attractive to people.
