The fit with the admin guide caught my attention as well, but I didn't
immediately have a better place to suggest. I am somewhat resistant to
creating another top-level directory; I really want to have *fewer* of
them. I certainly don't want to create one for a single document. My
inclination would be to leave it where it is for now; we can always
revisit this if it turns out we have a lot of material that justifies a
new book.
