Andries,
Yes, what's wrong with your page is that it has inappropriate editorial content that furthermore is phrased in an inflamatory and denigrating manner.
Facts are required. Warnings about potential problems (bugs, portability concerns, undesirable interactions with other related facilities, etc.) are desirable. Derogation is inappropriate and unwelcome.
I think that's the bulk of what is considered objectionable with the man page. Obviously, debate on the suitability of that vfork call is a separate issue and, as was mentioned in this thread, has been debated already. The call is there. It has the behavior it has. If you want to re-open that debate, it shouldn't be done in the guise of an attempt to document the call in question.
