(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately didn't get any
response at the time.)

Hm...  I don't quite feel that this information would be useful for many
users.  The ones that are interested can just hit the link, and the
information will be displayed.  For the rest, it's just more verbiage.

So I'm closing this as a "wontfix".
