Wrong. The documentation is much more extensive than a man page for the daemon; there's a few more pages you probably missed, as the site structure is, shall we say, not precisely intuitive. Spartan's not so bad as long as it's got everything you need; it does. (On three or four different pages...)

I agree a GUI would be nice, but it's highly non-essential for what's essentially a hacker's tool. It's not meant to fix OS2008's broken softpoweroff; that's just one pleasant effect which makes it much more broadly recommended that its intended application would justify.

And thanks for mentioning metalayer-crawler; I'd forgotten about it.

Of course you should disable it...
