My main complaint about requiring docstrings on *every* function is that we have a bunch of (abstract) base classes with subclasses. Unless the subclass takes additional parameters or something, the documentation on the base class's version of that method should be sufficient. Otherwise we'll end up with a lot of duplicate documentation— which is problematic because they will eventually get out of sync and cause confusion, so lots of maintenance overhead for (imo) little gain.

Seems like a P3 at best, but there might be some value here. Moving back to Untriaged to see if there's still interest in this. We should close it if not.
