But it is more work and the readme for the binaries are different to the one in the src release. It contains also platform dependent content and I think that can make sense to point on platform dependent stuff. The intention here is and was to make it more and better readable.
But anyway the work needs to be done by somebody. If somebody is volunteering here I can help to find the right places. I would move this cleanup work to the next version because it requires translation effort.
