It's OK. Well my concern is about long-term maintainability. We're very
busy all the time, and redundancy in our codebase often results in birot.
Can I count on your commitment that you'll be around to adjust this
documentation if it gets out of sync, etc?
Yes, I think you can. I've always been interested in the boot process.
I remember disassembling the boot sector back in the late '80s to see
what was going on. That was before I knew about open source and the use
of the internet became generally available (I didn't have it).
I went back to school late in life (91-93) and my dissertation was on
the effects of comments on the maintainability of source code. :)
Now I'm semi-retired and I think I can commit to a few years. I don't
think my interest will wane. :)
