Its their responsibility to use it or not to use it. If somebody kindly writes |
| 12 |
so exact and clear documentation he can say his opinions about things, and I |
| 13 |
think it is _very_ nice if he actually does so. He has right to do so. Its |
| 14 |
good if he does do so. My and others responsibility is to judge them and make |
| 15 |
choises. |

Otherway nobody would document nothing more than have to at minimum and that |
| 18 |
would be catastrophic. |
