+/**
+ * The DashboardAggregator is an enricher that combines config/sensor
values from the children of the entity it is attached to.
+ * The combined values are set as sensors on the entity that it is
attached to. Preference is given to the child entities sensors values,
+ * but if none are set, config values are used instead.
+ *
+ * The reason that this exists is to provide high level summary
information, that could be useful to display on a dashboard.
+ * Whilst brooklyn itself has no such dashboard, we can imagine this
entity being used in that fashion.
+ *
+ * Please note, that the DashboardAggregator will aggregate all children
of the entity it is attached to, even intermediate level children.

I'd say "all descendants" rather than "all children".
