Error in part of dhcpd.conf man page on booting flag?

According to the man page for dhcpd.conf:
       The  booting  flag  is  used to tell dhcpd whether or not to respond to
       queries from a particular client.  This keyword only has  meaning  when
       it appears in a host declaration.

Despite that, there are many messages on the list explaining how to deny RAS
clients a lease by putting "deny booting" into a class declaration (e.g.
http://marc.info/?l=dhcp-server&m=111563063424917&w=2  ,
http://marc.info/?l=dhcp-server&m=109707939405989&w=2 ).  And it even seems
to work as expected.  Is this a "man page bug"?

Kind regards
