That might be technically true, but it's misleading and doesn't support the point you're trying to make. During this period the ports collection has only been frozen for a couple of weeks, and the majority of commit activities were not restricted for the rest of the period in question. > Porter's handbook, and FDP Primer, while valuable (esp. the former) > leave many questions unanswered.

I would have thought the procedure to rectify this would be obvious: if you find that something is inadequately documented, or unclearly documented, then you need to make specific suggestions on what should be done to improve the documentation. We *need* this kind of feedback to figure out how to make the docs better from the point of view of the target audience.
