Maybe the title of the book page can be more descriptive:
http://drupal.org/node/53714
and the page http://drupal.org/node/42388 be referenced as a link within the article.

and who is "I"? We don't see the author of bookpages, so we've no idea who says "I" within the Documentation.

Why leave out the reference to http://drupal.org/node/42388 ?

Why include it? I look at it for a minute, and I have no idea why a bug report that has been resolved is an appropriate link for including in the documentation for that page. That would be the similar experience for most people. If there is some relevant bit of information in that project issue, the more effective way would be to suggest a change to the documentation that includes the necessary explanation.

Title: Extreme average comment on http://drupal.org/node/53714 » link in footnote as background information?

Well, feel free to close this issue if you feel it's not warranted.

I was thinking it could be worthwhile to add that issue as a link in a footnote, because it provides more background information, and that documentation page was at first a comment on that issue.

(the original title was:
"Extreme long comment on http://drupal.org/node/42388"
(hence the original title of this issue, wich was meant tongue-in-cheek, in good fun, not as an insult, by the way :) )

So, it's a yes or a no?

no decision in a year and a half seems like a "no" to me
