I have often wondered why Android's javadoc is so awful ... and thought, maybe precisely because its its embedded in such a large codebase it doesn't get updated for risk vs perceived benefit reasons (becuase of proximity of javadoc to code). Of course, it could be cultural or other things ... Perhaps the tooling sees changed sources, false positives for code changes, and there is a desire to eliminate this to help downstream consumers etc?
