My feeling is that if folks vary from the book's instructions, they
are somewhat on their own. Sure we'll help if they write in to the
-support list, but not following the book means you should know
what you're doing, notwithstanding the fact that some packages
will unexpectedly behave poorly.

More than anything it would set a dangerous precedent if we started
including information about what could happen if you don't follow
the book. To me, that would stimulate a never-ending cycle of "well
I did this, and it didn't work, so could you add this to the book?".

Just my thoughts on the subject.
