This is a valid point.

It might be best to consider placing all detailed technical explanations
of how Lily works in Extending, perhaps moving some material there
from the CG, leaving only material in the CG of relevance to actually
hacking code in the codebase.  But that's a major undertaking.

In the meantime dumping it in the CG is the easier option and avoids
it getting lost.
