I think the point here is "*without* taking up their valuable time".

The A10 is not a big budget waste of resources fill out your TPS
Reports project. Lots of hardware designs have sections with hand
written notes and drawings made by the engineers to use as reference
when the silicon comes back and firmware gets written. Lets see the
init source and how well it's commented. If they are truly working
with us we can ask for more comments or clarifications. How many lines
of init are there anyway?
