There is a flipside, if documentation contains links to the platform 
classes and methods they utilize - then you can automate the process of 
determining which pages a new release impacts.  Since a lot of changes 
are to things which were depreciated or are adding a new and improved 
method to do something[while maintaining the other for backwards 
compatibility] - it would be very hard for someone working on the 
platform to know whether or not any documentation needs to be updated..
