I agree, but OTOH there is a line of thought that claims that development
is more focused and efficient if you document first what the code that you
are going to write is supposed to do. I tend to agree with that, even
though I know many of my clients don't... :)

At least for me, the lack of knowledge about the release comments in the
blog was crucial. This is currently the only real way to find out whether a
release has been stable, and how stable it was. 

I imagine that at least some others didn't know about the blog either. If
you (not you, Torsten, but the anonymous lurker :) are one of them, check
it out before discussing this issue further...
