I'll take it over nothing, though.

I'm generally a fan of documenting when you do something and don't like it, though it's generally useful to use something a hair more constructive. At the very least, though, leaving a signifier to future-self or future-non-self that the decision was made as a "least worst option" or a "doesn't matter now, may matter in the future" or otherwise "I don't like this, but doing better is not my immediate problem".

Basically, having any context into why a decision was made is an extremely useful artifact.
