To be precise, it’s only the ‘glibc’ package of Arch that doesn’t
provide ‘nscd’; upstream 2.39 (which we use) provides it.

So I would suggest: “Note that @command{nscd} is no longer provided on
some GNU/Linux distros, such as Arch Linux (as of Dec. 2024).”

Am I right?

Nitpick: please leave two spaces after end-of-sentence periods (this is
conventional).

Could you send an updated patch?

Thanks,
