To be clear, I have no problem if the design has changed since the
paper was written. I just want:
* A clear high-level explanation of the actually-implemented
arrangements to exist somewhere
* The commit messages, or code, to refer to that explanation
A description and explanation of the difference from some other
somewhat different previously-published document is IMO necessary in
this case because the primary design reference is that
previously-published document, which does not correspond to the actual
code.
Having a design document which disagrees with the implementation is
dangerous because future programmers will look to the design to
understand what is going on.
Ian.
