Subject: re: docs/118332: man page for top does not describe state column wait events

From an operations stance, when I'm trying to diagnose an issue, and I see
from top that a process is in some state that I don't recognize or
understand, I want to know what it means. I naturally go to the man page for
top to find out. If it's not directly in there then I want a pointer of
where I should look next. So, to clarify my prior email, it'd be nice if the
man page listed some of the more common states and what they mean and then
provided a pointer to the canonical documentation.
