It's not a tactical or even a conscious decision.  The documentation arose
at voip-info organically, from the days when there was only a single
committer to Asterisk.  There's never been much of a coordinated attempt
to replace that resource, mostly due to the large amount of labor that we
would need.  There are certainly efforts to document Asterisk and keep the
documentation up to date (see the Asterisk Documentation Project).
Anything that you would like to contribute in this regard would be welcome.
