The original reporter is here again. I agree.
Once enough people start to complain, the various widely used packages (and 
their methods of customization) would be fixed sooner or later.
I would rather have it sooner and thus a pointer to such changes would be
nice because having such material on-line, the package maintainers will fix such 
problems in a short time.
The information doesn't have to be in the manual page. A wiki or web page
accessible for such would-be trial users, among whom are package developers,
are just fine.

TIA.

Happy Hacking,
