I think you can measure what a project cares about by the priorities they give to different pieces of work.
Empirically, since 1.0 the project as a whole has prioritised adding new features over documenting (and agreeing the intended behaviour of) existing ones.
In early 2019, the roadmap said the language team would make updating the reference a priority that year. But as far as I can tell nothing happened, and it hasn't appeared on the roadmap since then.
- steveklabnik 5y agoYes, as it turns out, open source projects cannot dictate what people work on to the same degree as companies, and there are far more people willing to do non-spec work. Those efforts aren't fungible though; progress has been made on both fronts, the spec work is just far less visible. "is important" != "the most important thing"
