All true.

A message like the one posted before and got a positive "wow, good
work", is a good thinkg to motivate somebody to work on bringing the
codebase and build procedure to aspire for producing that table from
within the build procedure; I do not think this information fixed in
time belongs to the source tree (iow, making it into a patch form is
of no use).  It will go stale over time without a way to automate
the synchronization somehow.
