Excuse me?  "Management follow through?"  Just who do you think is managing
the hundreds/thousands of Open Source developers in the world?

Its a matter of programmer discipline and management follow through. When I
write a message I know
why I am writing it and what it means. It only takes a minite or two to
document that at that moment. If my boss allows me to skip the
documentation at that time then we both have failed. But if he catches me
then we are successful.

My most successful attempt at reasonable documentation required that a
peer of my choice reviewed my code which also required message
documentation in the front of the program. The programmer's designed that
system and it worked well.

Its simple slop versus discipline.
