I am well aware that documentation needs updating. 
The SVN logs will convince you that it is updated on a regular basis.

I usually respond positively to all requests for updates, as my other reply proves.

That is, provided they are put in a positive form, and not with a dosis of poison as you just provided.

If you insist on being negative, please find another mailing list to do so.
