Choosing the right amount of content to put on each docs page is surprisingly hard.
I've seen info/man pages as a single large HTML page and it eventually slows down the browser. A short page with a short scrollbar is less intimidating and you're more likely to read to the end.

I'm all in favour of simple websites without unnecessary JS, but I find a large comment section skews my sense of article length.

The problem with scrollbars is that they tell you nothing about the structure of content. Is that long scrollbar due to a huge blog post, or a short post with many comments underneath?
