Sure, if the instructions could be improved, this would be good
regardless.

This was already done:

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2024-09/msg00257.html

and some people already provide such feedback.  But, of course,
repeating the request for testing and feedback can never do any harm,
and can be posted right now.

Let's hope you are right.
