I keep trying to say something here without running on, and two hours later, I 
don't have anything simple to say on this topic.  If I'm going to write an 
essay about the vagaries of documenting Linux projects, I may as well do it 
right, and publish it on a blog or something.  Or better yet, figure out some 
way to get someone to pay me to publish it.  :D

The jist of it, though, is that it's a crappy and nearly impossible job.

I definitely agree with this.  One of my top three biggest rants.
