Better Test Those Kernel Patches

Whilst i agree with the real programmers analogy (i can read source) the whole point of linux is an alternative to windows for all users i thought, if that is to be said then dont we need a little bit more documentation and testing than reading the source code ?
Arent we supposed to be making this stuff easier for the average user ?
With respect (an IMHO) i thought this sort of attitude and comment was a thing of the past and died with the maturation of Unix ?

This is Slashdot you fool.
Who needs documentation??? Just read the source and pretend like you know what you are doing!
