I don't think so. Book provides much more functionality and many of our
HOWTOs are very large. The IP-MASQ for example is 200 pages. The PPP over
a 100 and the Networking is over a 100 as well.

Those are pretty big freaking articles ;). Not to mention my
Consultants-HOWTO which is over 1500 pages.

Instead of asking why a piece of software is using "1970s technology,"
start asking why software is ignoring 30 years of accumulated wisdom.
