While the word 'simply' is usually added to encourage readers, it often has the
opposite effect and may even appear condescending, especially when the reader
runs into trouble trying to apply the suggestions from the documentation. It is
almost always an improvement to simply drop the word from the sentence.
(there are more possible improvements like this, we can apply those in separate
PRs)
this is a lot easier than adding footnote support for just the one
instance. if a use case for footnotes appears in the future (e.g. if we
wanted to render the nixpkgs manual with nixos-render-docs as well) this
decision should be reevaluated.
