proposed changes to this list in terms of precisely what text should
be replaced by newer text?

Remember that this was likely written for CentOS 4, which did not have
that tool as part of openssh. So we might want to provide an option for
both cases ?

ah, good point. i suspect the most effective rewrite would be 3
parts:
* a general description of what is being done, files involved,
what's copied, proper file/dir permissions for it to work
properly, etc.
* the manual way it's done on centos 4
* the newer, simpler centos 5 way involving ssh-copy-id
and that would do it.

Perhaps it is time to remedy that situation. Have you created a
WikiName (RobertDay might be a good choice) and requested edit rights to
a page or pages?
