Why so many vspace commands?

[gotgenes]

Throughout the class file there are a number of entries that invoke a negative vspace command, some immediately after adding positive vspace in the first place. For example

% Define a subsection for CV
% Usage: \cvsubsection{<subsection-title>}
\newcommand{\cvsubsection}[1]{%
  \vspace{\acvSectionContentTopSkip}
  \vspace{-3mm}
  \subsectionstyle{#1}
  \phantomsection

has the effect of no net vspace added. \acvSectionContentTopSkip is defined as 3mm, which is the same amount of space removed by \vspace{-3mm}. So why not omit all vspace calls entirely?

Similarly

% Define a paragraph for CV
\newenvironment{cvparagraph}{%
  \vspace{\acvSectionContentTopSkip}
  \vspace{-3mm}
  \paragraphstyle
}{%
  \par
  \vspace{2mm}
}

has the same thing.

Is there a reason behind this?

the class needs some fixes.
