I could but I have no idea what "corresponding update" might mean in
this case. The only place where variable gnus-expert-user is mentioned
in the manual (in GNU Emacs 23.2) is section 8.2 Interactive:

    `gnus-expert-user'
         If this variable is non-`nil', you will seldom be asked any
         questions by Gnus.  It will simply assume you know what you're
         doing, no matter how strange.

And that description covers everything.

Section 6.9.6 Agent Expiry is only about user-interface. There is
nothing about files and such things nor about current uses of
gnus-expert-user (which do exist in the expiry mechanism).

So, to be honest, I feel that my patch fits there just fine without
changes in the manual.
