That is an attempt to entirely push the problem under the table. The default message should be relevant. Noone will use special options to go look for relevant information. As an option, it would be much more realistic if -M did not EXIST. The basics + by-hand-setup information for most things is 2 lines long, because it points at a file. That is what should be printed everytime. Making people go dig for the important information they need is retarded. Documenting that they need to do such a ridiculous process is not right.
