Why should we?
Isn't it handy to provide those?
Maybe you're concerned about duplicating the information,
but I don't really see a problem, being a copy of the standard would
actually be kind of a feature to me, C99 man-pages.
Also there are still implementation-specifics that we should document
in the man-pages, though I think it'd also be good to have
an implementation-details man-page that summarize those.
Maybe it's also a concern for maintenance, but I'm not sure
about the impact that would have on us.

What would be the goal here?
If it's to save space, here are results after removing
the four commits touching man-pages,
and a `git gc --aggressive --prune=now`
$ cd scc
$ du -hsb .git
8328665 .git
$ cd scc.nomanpages
$ du -hsb .git
8248984 .git
Doesn't look it saves a lot (~80k)
