I assume you mean the lack of the documentation of the key/value pairs for configuration? That's a valid criticism, but it's being fixed by documenting libnm-util.

What other ways is it "incomplete"?

Generally a Big Picture of how NM configuration works is missing.

Re the config key/values:
Groups like pppoe are missing.
The dependencies between settings groups to make NM accept a connection.
Lots of details of the significance of the values, for example the need for clients to keep seen-bssids updated for autoconnect to work, and the timestamp's role in choosing which connection to autoconnect.

All valid points. The documentation does need to be a lot better, that's true, and that's something that we've been trying to make a better effort on in the past 6 months or so.
