Call me a traditionalist, but I like all the documentation in one place,
even if some of it it seldom used. For the record, these options have
been enabled by myself and others in production systems for debugging
purposes, and the lack of detail in that section while doing so led to
the patch. The docs also has the advantage of being more available,
searchable, and found via the web.
