Hi Stef,

To me class comments are not *that* useful. Most of the time I search
explanations for contexts of use, which usually involves many classes
and methods everywhere. I would remove packages which doesn't include
at least some brief or general comments of the main classes or
methods, this is less effort for a developer to remember and to
document. Or it could be a start.
