One hopes that something as central as the updating/installing tool
would be (a) worked on by more than one person, and (b) sufficiently
documented that the project could be taken over.
My second point seems to be seriously lacking on Fedora. While I can't
personally speak to documentation regarding software coding, the
documentation for operating some software is sorely lacking. There are
some distros where good documentation is a prerequisite to software
being accepted.
Having been a sw engineer for more than 40 years,
I can say that for most corporations, documentation is
not a big source of income. Couple that with the fact that
most of the documentation was written before the product
went out the door and also before the product was deemed
"complete and ready to ship", and thirdly, with all the changes
that went into the product (big and small), the documentation
is not rewritten to reflect such drastic changes and modifications.
This is indeed the SW culture IN GENERAL, but not necessarily true
for every single SW product.
