Phil, your constant nagging about documentation is a real PITA.
Fixing these takes an amount of time (probably on every release)
which has no resemblance to the main package. We have A TON of
really outdated, not packaged PRIO-1 stuff. Do you really think
we should focus on documentation instead of having e.g. an updated
Kerberos or PHP? Fixing doc issues in all packages takes a regular
amount of time in terms of *hours* I don't have for version
bumps. For a 100% package we should fix it, right. But we are not
at 99%. Or 95%. Or even 90%. We are more at 75%. Focusing on
docs is IMHO the wrong priority.
