Yes, I think so.

I certainly wouldn't object if the Net-HOWTO were to come under better
maintenance.

(Note that there's been a certain amount of bad blood between the author
of that HOWTO and the LDP, as I understand it. I wasn't privy to all the
details, but I got the strong impression that the rather abrupt move
from linuxdoc.org to tldp.org was in part because Joshua owned
linuxdoc.org personally and was threatening to use it for other
purposes. However, don't quote me on that. :))
