It's a start.

Linus didn't say anything about not documenting the implementation details,
nor did he say anything about not documenting in general.

Judging by the number of complaints, it's not easy enough. I know that,
personally, decoding your vm is something that's always on my 'things I could
do if I didn't have a lot of other things to do' list. So far, only Linus,
Marcelo, Andrew and maybe Rik seem to have made the investment. You'd have a
lot more helpers by now if you gave just a little higher priority to
documentation
