Wait a minute, man... *I* created that directory, are you impugning my
work? :)

But yes, "kind of thrown together" is a good description of much of
Documentation/.  A number of people have been working for years to make
that better, with some success, but there is a long way to go yet.  The
dev-tools directory is an improvement over having that stuff scattered all
over the place — at least it's actually thrown together — but it's not the
end point.

Total agreement.  All we need is somebody to write it!  :)
