no - for several reasons

* it's more comfortable to use a website with working links like
  http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.kill.html
  mentioned as example in ExecStop=

* it's more comfortable to have STRG+F in a webbrowsers

* i currently maintain machines with 204, 208 and 215
  having *one* manual open which lists all available options
  and mention the minimum version of them gives a better picture
