I am unable to find this policy. Looking here:
http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/License-for-Manuals.html#License-for-Manuals,
it states manuals should use GFDL but does not say there need be
invariant sections. Looking at the GFDL howto
(http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl-howto.html), it states:

Is it required for the document to have invariant sections?

No. It is perfectly acceptable for a document to have no invariant
sections.

Could you please point out where the FSF have made this policy?
