I was the original author of such class. And yes, I don't write class
comments. I am not use too, usually because:
- I almost don't find it use
- The browser doesn't help me to see class comments
- Who can guess that under a '?' there are class comments? I discovered
that YEARS after I was already using Smalltalk
- I prefer writting/reading a TestCase for such class (I know it is not
the same as class comments, but it helps).
- I prefer looking at senders/references to such class
- When class comments are long, the browser is FUCKING slow to write
Even more, in this case, what would you write for example?
ConfigurationOf* are just Metacello Configurations. What would you need
to know about that despite of Metacello? �If you know Metacello, you
should know how to query the configuration and get all the things you
want, like groups, packages, etc

But do you think that could be fixed just because of having class comments?
