Yes, that would be a big help, as long as you're not in a situation
where you need the man page for route to figure out how to get your
network working.

BTW, do you know about how much space the man pages take up, or how to
build a (admittedly oversized) BBC image that includes all the man
pages?  I'm curious about how many applications would have to be
dropped to make room.
