this definition is imho wrong. A shepherd is only a shepherd when he stays with his sheep. When you have sheep and you put them to pasture and leave them to it, you are not a shepherd. I also think it is not only sheep you can herd to be a shepherd. GerardM 17:01, 10 March 2006 (UTC)Reply
For example this Internet RFC says in its metadata: "Document shepherd: No shepherd assigned". Compare our verb sense, to guide something, in this case I suppose the process of formalising and propagating a document. Equinox ◑ 09:07, 10 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
