Lack of time, no document writers?

In some ways yes, probably. Not in all.

Look at /hipster as Ubuntu and /dev as Debian. Sometimes Ubuntu move 
faster, sometimes Debian. They can take inspirations from each other.

In reality, I am ready to claim, that the most part of JDS is the most 
up-to-date in OI. Even in comparison to Solaris. The rest will be fixed 
with a10, I hope :-)

Again, I do not care about /hipster and I hope that /dev will not take 
JDS bits from it, because it is much much much easier to maintain JDS in 
specs than in userland.

I understand it is not easy to start. But to be fair, several people 
asked me how they can help. In case of /hipster I answer - go and look 
at userland and help there. I cannot do more for you. Sorry.

It is only number, nothing more :-)
