(Incomplete sentence.)

To be clear: I think we must not abuse sectioning to make an index;
there’s already an index, and we can add concept index entries if that’s
what’s missing.

However, what we could/should do is improve structure.  We can do that
by grouping related services together, essentially splitting existing
sections into finer-grain sections—e.g., ‘Base Services’ might be split
into two or three sections.  That’s not the same as adding one heading
and one anchor for each service.

Does that make sense?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
