I don't think this info is very important to show to the user, so I
would rather leave it out. (In Emacs design, Completeness is not the
goal.) However, if a lot of people think including it is useful, I
will go a long with them.
I see you rushed ahead and installed this already. You should have
waited longer. I will see how many other people support it, and thus
decide deciding whether to leave it installed.
