It's my personal policy, yes. I cannot speak for everyone, though.

But don't you already know that based on the name/location of the file 
and it's stated purpose (at the top of the file)? Sure, if you take the 
file completely out-of-context then it would be harder to figure out 
what it is doing, but that is not really a useful thing to do :-)

Anyone who thinks the code is under-commented is more than welcome to 
provide what they feel is appropriate commenting in the form of patches...
