Possible getmail documentation error

Hello Charles, hello getmail users,
    I think I found an inconsistency in getmail documentation.

Today I was setting up maildrop, so I opened “How do I use maildrop
with getmail?” form the FAQ [1]. Here we read:

     maildrop requires that the message begin with a Unix "From " line
     (the mbox message delimiter), so you'll need to either set the
     MDA_external parameter unixfrom to True, or supply arguments that
     tell maildrop to recreate this line.

but when I `man maildrop` (maildrop 2.9.3):

    maildrop does not accept an mbox-style From_ line before the first
    header line.

Indeed

    [destination]
    type = MDA_external
    path = /usr/bin/maildrop
        # notire no `unixform = True`

in getmail worked fine.
Thanks for this useful piece of software
