I'd encourage proposing a patch to make the documentation say what you
wish it said.  What guarantees would you like it to make?  That will
help with others in the project being able to decide what it should
guarantee and what it shouldn't, and regardless of the outcome of
discussion it would make the documentation more helpful for the next
person.

See Documentation/MyFirstContribution for some more details on how
proposing a patch works.

Thanks and hope that helps,
Jonathan
