As I said here http://www.chockstone.org/Forum/Forum.asp?Action=Display&ForumID=1&MessageID=76607 the original VCC concept was never to create a comprehensive route database. Just somewhere for folks to put NEW routes. Then in theory, it could be used everyone to get all the updates until the new printed guide comes out Also making the editor's job much easier when it comes to updating the guide.
It never quite got off the ground. As Tracey said, people just did not have the time.
I'm guessing that the ACA route descriptions don't normally mention the guide book(s) that the description already appears in.
[edit] - pretty much agree with everything that Phil posted while I was typing this.

That was also part of the plan - although I would say accurate, not comprehensive for reasons mentioned above.
