Yes, and that is highly annoying to me. This requires 1 more click and at 
least 5 seconds more to go to the manual you want to see.

Yes!
Can't we make that the default documentation page? I don't think that 
newcomers will want the choice between all the "exotic" documentation formats. 
It's better to show them something quickly.

And the first line of that page already tells the user that there are other 
formats, too, and where to find them.

Cheers,
