However, I suppose you do not have the blueprints for the mechanical design either.

and the package too, if the author withdraws it.

Finding, and installing, the package and its documentation 
makes things awkward for ordinary users 
- a bit like having to ride a bicycle. 

OK, the analogy has gone too far. But what I was trying to point out was that the argument about having documentation source is an issue of principles, yet most people are prepared to be pragmatic rather than principled when the benefits are high enough. Please note that this is not aimed at anyone in particular, just an observation on human nature. I'm just trying to point out the benefits to the "ordinary user" of being pragmatic. 

Best wishes

Ralph
