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.
