I don't see what discoverability has to do with this. The issue is not discoverability, the issue is to show reasonably useful context menus when the user turns on context-menu-mode and right-clicks some part of the Emacs display. Telling the user to do more customizations _after_ turning on context-menu-mode makes little sense to me.
