Yes, but you did it anyway (and I know that not what you meant it 
to mean).

Be that as it may, documentation that does not reflect the status 
quo is worse than useless.

You know that opinion is not held by a number of people, most 
notably those reviewing your PRs. Because we do not understand 
the changes, because they are not documented we are not qualified 
to review. And if nobody is able to review your PRs because, you, 
through your actions, have reduced that set to zero, then you 
have only yourself to blame.
