This is also a great way to ensure the documentation is up to date. It’s easier to fix the comment while you’re in the code just below it than to remember “ah yes I have to update docs/something.md because I modified src/foo/

It’s biaised to show this without the dates at which features were introduced. A lot of the downtimes in the breakdown are GitHub Actions, which launched in August 2019; so yeah what a surprise there was no Actions downtime before because A
