No disrespect is meant by this reply. I am just curious (and I am probably misunderstanding something).. Why remove all of the documentation entirely? Wouldn't it be better to just document it more thoroughly? I thought you did a fine job in this post in explaining its purpose, when to use it, when not to, etc. Removing the documention seems counter-intuitive when you've already gone to the trouble of creating good documentation here in this post.
