Of course it's a problem. And I would be happy to have to write my own 
documentation, provided nobody is expecting to see the next Emacs 
release anytime soon.

Unfortunately, since there are so few core developers, or people who 
take responsibility for various core packages, some of the time I could 
have used to work on the said documentation, I had to spend on e.g. 
fixing stuff in etags.el, or pieces of VC left broken by ESR's latest 
changes.

Not as important as working code, or fewer bugs in Emacs in general.
