It’s not just fixing it that matters. Sooner or later there will be upgrades. There will be other software competing for resources, some of which are at least supposed to integrate.

The problem is, as you said, it can take longer to document than it takes to do the code itself especially given some standards.

I’ve often wondered if things might not work better with a voice recorder that tied sound to keystrokes, then having another specialist who did nothing but enter comments using those two items (and an occasional persuasive visit to recalcitrant programmers.)

For upgrades, I tend to find quality (Or lack thereof) of code and design are the most important factors, although comments are helpful if things are entirely non-obvious.
