You mean on a unique name, like say "gunzip"?  I wasn't terribly
interested in the section number as a suffix if it's unique.  Omitting
it makes for a cleaner list; and it could be a bit confusing if the bare
name is present for duplicated pages but not present for unique ones.
But perhaps it's personal preference.
