    Biggest thing for me is wiki edits skip code review, so docs rot silently while a /docs PR at least shows up in the diff next to the change.

      im having trouble connecting the dots here. How does adding the friction of code review reduce rot?

        You can spot a code change without a docs change or vice versa
