This is true, but a bad attitude does come out in the

about a lack of documentation aren't productive--if taken at
face value, this particular example is just
self-deprecating. If the sarcasm that (I think) is
underlying it is also taken into consideration, it takes on
a dimension of rudeness thinly masked by self-deprecation.
Either way, just asking for help rather than sniping at
yourself and/or the documentation folks is more helpful and
probably takes less time to write, as well.

I would completely disagree because it seems that it is thought that the
answer is so obvious that it is not worth writing about anywhere. Which
is exactly what I said. The only way that could be taken sarcastically
is if it was read, and the reader registered the sentence structure
without bothering to think about the content - which is spot on. What
other explanation could there be for the lack of an official
repositories list.
And there is easily enough documentation - it's just not spread evenly
over all topics. The reason? Because posts like this are ignored.
