In fact, strictly peaking the text still is correct, even after
the arrival of time namespaces.
Time namespaces virtualize only the boot-time and monotonic
clocks, not the "real time" (i.e., calendar time), which is the
time referred in the passage you quote.
That said, the text is perhaps now a little misleading, and
a little clarification would help. I changed the text to:
there are many privileged operations that affect
resources are not associated with any namespace type,
for example, changing the system **(i.e., calendar)** time
(governed by CAP_SYS_TIME)

FAN_ONDIR was an input only flag before introducing
FAN_REPORT_FID. Since the introduction of FAN_REPORT_FID, it can
also be in output mask.
Move the text describing its role in the output mask to fanotify.7
where the other output mask bits are documented.

This is a sequel to commit baf17bc4f2, addressing the
issues with missing commas in the middle of SEE ALSO lists that
emerged since.
The awk script from the original commit was not working and had to
be slightly modified (s/["]SEE ALSO["]/"?SEE ALSO/), otherwise it
works like a charm. Here's the fixed script and its output just
before this commit:
for f in man*/*; do
awk '
/^.SH "?SEE ALSO/ {
sa=1; print "== " FILENAME " =="; print; next
}
/^\.(PP|SH)/ {
sa=0; no=0; next
}
/^\.BR/ {
if (sa==1) {
print;
if (no == 1)
print "Missing comma in " FILENAME " +" FNR-1; no=0
}
}
/^\.BR .*)$/ {
if (sa==1)
no=1;
next
}
/\.\\"/ {next}
/.*/ {
if (sa==1) {
print; next
}
}
