Does the "sharedscripts" option really imply the "create" option?

From the man page:

sharedscripts: ... This option overrides the nosharedscripts option and implies create option.

I think that this makes no sense, so I have tested this and had a quick glance at the source code. If I tested correctly, then "sharedscripts" does not imply the "create" option.

Also, I found this logrotate configuration for chrony on Fedora, which uses both "sharedscripts" and "nocreate":

/var/log/chrony/*.log {
    missingok
    nocreate
    sharedscripts
    postrotate
        /usr/bin/chronyc cyclelogs > /dev/null 2>&1 || true
    endscript
}

Please verify this, and fix the man page if necessary.

The statement appeared in the man page 15 years ago in commit 62b4a6f without any explanation. I fail to see any reason why sharedscripts would imply create. So I propose to just remove the statement from the man page.

Thanks!
