 The codex does not say that. It also wouldn't be true in any case. The
 only reason the @uses would be stale is if there were modifications to the
 code without updating the inline documentation.

 Using a separate application takes away from the reasons behind
 phpdocumentor sites. I would say that only functions that provide more
 information on the usage of the function should be linked with {{{@uses}}}
 as some functions and methods are helpers for other functions.
