That's not a valid conclusion, because it does not take into account
whether @Override is present or not.
Besides, toString is extremely well known as a method name.

=3D=3D

The point is, @Override is useful as documentation of the intention of
the coder.

You may not find it useful for your own code - so don't use it in your own =
code.

However, ASF code is developed by many different people over a long
period of time, and having this annotation helps communicate the
intention of the coder to subsequent maintainers.
