Length and redundancy. It would make the manual longer without adding 
any actual content, and it's harder to keep things up to date when you 
have the same thing documented in multiple places. Hyperlink cross 
references solve most of this problem, but make the documentation more 
complex and even less printable, and a reorganization would eliminate a 
lot of the need for them.
