+1 to all that Eli said.
___

It may come down to this: Some people might not
find this or that standard part of *Help* text
to be important, or even helpful.  Other people
might find that same part to be helpful.
___

If the problem is that some people are annoyed
by seeing info they think isn't useful/helpful,
then a possible answer is to add the ability
for users to customize some of the parts, to
keep or remove them.

I suggested (and provided code for) the same
thing for `report-emacs-bug': letting a user
decide which automatically gathered info to
include.

Perhaps Stefan K would like to do something
similar for the standard parts of *Help*
output.  IOW, instead of imposing a personal
preference on Emacs in general, give users a
way to customize the parts they do or don't
want to include.  (And leave the default
behavior as is.)
