That might be technically true, but it's misleading and doesn't
support the point you're trying to make.  During this period the ports
collection has only been frozen for a couple of weeks, and the
majority of commit activities were not restricted for the rest of the
period in question.

I would have thought the procedure to rectify this would be obvious:
if you find that something is inadequately documented, or unclearly
documented, then you need to make specific suggestions on what should
be done to improve the documentation.  We *need* this kind of feedback
to figure out how to make the docs better from the point of view of
the target audience.
