Yes, inasmuch as the F628 has an oscillator and the MRM has
technical inforrmation about PIC oscillators

Quite true, it's just another document that can be referred to from
time to time, and does have information not present in specific
product datasheets

We'll have to agree to disagree. You have your opinion, and that's
cool. I hear what you're saying - if you know your trade then there's
no need for a manual, it's all in your head. However, for many people
it probably doesn't work out that way and the MRM can be useful
