I disagree with the notion that because our current documentation is
imperfect, we shall move the corrected one to the Wiki page. I think
we've gotten too far in putting valuables bits of GCC outside our main
documentation repository.

It tells us that the documentation is inaccurate; it does not tell us
that we ought to move it to the Wiki.

The issue is not complaining that people do useful things. Rather,
whether the updated and and more useful documentation of GCC shall be
moved outside GCC main docuementation sources.
