The problem is that we already have fd manpage in section 7D (fd, fdc -
drivers for floppy disks and floppy disk controllers), so the one
talking about file descriptors really looks homeless. If you strongly
disagree with using section 7 for such manpages, we probably could make
the floppy stuff be named fdc only (still looks better than section 4 in
any case..).
