I guess the smiley face when you said that threw me off :)

Based on your feedback, I'll withdraw my patch for MaintNotes -- my
intention in patching it was to provide more information for newbies
or people reading it out of curiosity, however you're absolutely right
-- it is not the right place for that type of information.

It does need more info in some of the other areas you mentioned and I
would love to help but I'm not knowledgeable enough to do so and I
fear I'll be more of a hindrance than a help.

Cheers,
Raman
