So sharing a crappy piece of code with poor documentation is better than holding out until you can release a tested product? I don't buy it. Case in point: the many terrible suggestions in the PHP documentation comments.

Yes. It gives the next poor schmuck something to work from.

That's assuming a world, of course, where at least some people actually use free software as something to hack on, rather than as a product to bitch about.
