[Gluster-users] Outdated docs?

Hello all.

I think there's something wrong in the docs: the page 
https://docs.gluster.org/en/main/Administrator-Guide/Handling-of-users-with-many-groups/ 
says "The FUSE client gets the groups of the process that does the I/O 
by reading the information from /proc/$pid/status. This file only 
contains up to 32 groups."

I checked on my system and status files report way more than 32 groups 
(when the user does have 'em, obv).

It could probably just be outdated info: I think it got 'fixed' 9y ago 
by this patch:
https://linux-kernel.vger.kernel.narkive.com/KDWSnAMn/patch-proc-pid-status-show-all-supplementary-groups
