I think I agree with this (specifically the "at the time of this writing" part). There are some documents in the tree that were written to reflect the state of the project at one point in time and some that attempt to document reality on an ongoing basis. IMHO the dev-model article was written to be the former, and morphing it into the latter is not an easy task. Another example of this BTW is murray's releng article. It described specifically the procedures used for 4.4-RELEASE but we (re@) tried to turn it into an ongoing release engineering procedures document. I believe this was only partially successful, it's reflected in a very disjointed writing style and content.
