However, comments in the code for me mean nothing (comments and documentation are two different things). ACS has a lot of comments saying to improve this or that, and they just stay there for days, months and years. So, adding a comment like that does not bring any value to the code. My point is that this specific case is not a complicated one; it is only a matter of adding a column to a table, then a new property in a POJO, and setting the correct value in the newly created property. The same way I understand that we should not try to save the planet at once, I also have the philosophy that we should not let to do tomorrow what can be done today.
