Josh Reynolds via NANOG (nanog () lists nanog org):
I'd argue that's not documentation at all, but a statement of intent.

Yes, that's my impression too. And it is a worthy tool, but let's not
confuse it with reality. 
 
A *proposed* state or maybe even a snapshot of a particular time is more
likely.

Documentation that deviates from reality will get ignored, forgotten
and rejected.  Treating it as plans and intents will work much better. 
We probably do that without reflecting over it already. Officially
acknowledging it will only improve the process.
