+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).
