Ah yes, I read it differently.

The way I understand it, some users like to have diminished names on
their mode line, some like the default behaviour, some have something
different...
So to please everybody (and avoid spending as much energy as a small
town in mail traffic), we can provide a "setting block" setting the
diminished name only if the user wants diminished names.

Ideally it would be setting a variable interpreted by diminish-mode,
but even if there is no such mode (I'm not sure), something like

   (with-eval-after-load 'diminish (diminish 'undo-tree-mode))

would work.
