This is the kind of attitude that drives people away from open source.
Yes, people should read the manual, but at some point they will have questions, and there are a lot of project that do not document YAML changes.

Oh you must mean THE manual. Got it.

You can also interpret it as, “Read their fucking manuals.”

I cannot recall a single self-hosted software documentation that mentions how to keep the docker config file up to date. Why bother wasting 5 seconds writing such an unhelpful comment

Tell me you don’t read the manual without saying you don’t read the manual.
I can recall a few! Mastodon. Lemmy. PiHole. Penpot. Mealie. Uptime Kuma.
They all mention required steps to upgrade between releases, including what to do to your docker installations and environment variables.

PLENTY of projects make tiny non-breaking changes to the compose files without any mention that users should update the file. For example, adding a section for a container health check. While these can be no big deal for a while over time they can add up to major changes in the config that users may not catch if they are not comparing yml files.
