I agree with Stephan's and Sam's reasoning, I think the detailed
information should be in the devref.

A wiki is by definition open to edition by any (authorized?) user; the
devref has named editors (as you are very well aware ;-) ) and can be
seen as verified and curated information. I think the information
should be concisely explained in the devref, leaving the Wiki for more
full/detailed information on specific points, examples, or documenting
changes as they are discussed or implemented, while waiting for them
to arrive to the devref's next edition.
