You have thrown out the baby with the bathwater.

Integrated, offline, semantically tagged documentation subsystem is better than your dependency-riddled, half baked webapp of the day.

And I'm going to to prove it.

What happened to the docs?

ziaee added a comment to D54881: intel/intelpmc: Add Intel PMC Core driver.

There is no spite or resentment behind my frustrated comment, please do not read into it too deeply. I did take it personally, but I do not agree there was anything escalatory about communicating that, especially after being directly asked what I think. I did not insult anyone, because I do not have any insults to issue. My statement was just, direct. It does make my life harder, and I asked please do not do this. My concern with the doc, as you know from doing release notes, is not that it will take more time later, it is that it will never get done. If it is done on time, it takes everyone an extra 10 minutes. If it is done later, it takes many man hours, starting with a frustrated user report (and who knows how many frustrated users did not bother to file the bug first), many hours of work to figure out what is missing, and so on. Archaeological docs is also the most unglamorous work that could never feed a family, and the damage to our reputation is done when things slip through the cracks and users find them. Similarly with release notes. We can not manually read through the commit log and parse everything that has happened to write release notes, and AI is not at that stage either. If the commit is marked appropriately we can do an acceptable job with only a few hours of work. If not, it takes days, which may or may not happen depending on availability of our teammates.

I'm thinking of moving these to tools/ or tools/tools/ as I'm not sure it brings much value to have them available in usr.bin/ -- absent any feedback on that, I'll just forge ahead to usr.bin/ as planned. Just spit-balling an idea that popped into my head.

Since it doesn't do anything, it is not necessary to remove them. However, since it doesn't do anything, it is kinda nice to remove them. To clarify, I was not asking you to remove them, I was just asking where you got the idea to do this because I have never seen anyone do this. Usually weird undocumented stuff comes from copying other files, so that's what I was wondering.
