The default sentinel is documented with the set-process-sentinel function: -- Function: set-process-sentinel process sentinel This function associates SENTINEL with PROCESS. If SENTINEL is `nil', then the process will have the default sentinel, which inserts a message in the process's buffer when the process status changes. Maybe this is not prominent enough, and we should say this in a few more places. Other than that, what else do you think should be said about the default sentinel? Thanks.
