I don't think this is a good analogy.

Pre-flight check-lists down to the bolts and nuts of the planes of are mandatory because a lot of human life depend on them. It is necessary to have very detail documents for Linux if it would be used on the super computers controlling the launch of nuclear bombs. But no human life has evidently lost because of somebody didn't properly install Linux on a regular PC, except perhaps his/her own life if he/she decided to commit suicide after failing to install Linux. :)

Answer: Because everyone's human, and having good docs minimizes
mistakes.

I agree that we need to have good documentations to minimise mistakes. But without a good base for the documentations, I don't think it is worth to start writing them now. It will make sense to write Devuan documentations after it is being released and stabilised.

Cheers,

Anto
