[Seaside] Re: too many comments

+1.  And one I like is explaining *why* certain decisions were made.

In the outside world, if there is some condition that is dangerous that 
causes people to get hurt, someone generally puts up a sign so that 
people don't get hurt over and over.  Likewise in code, if there is 
something someone tried that was a lot of work which had a big 
non-obvious problem down the road, throw up a sign.  If we get to the 
point where we trust version information to stay around forever (or 
maybe we do already), this might be a good place for that kind of 
information (and in the method at least a "#see version 3 for 
explanation" type reference).
