Boy, I couldn't disagree more - in my opinion, the 'users' are the
ones who need it the MOST.  A developer will know about trace and
makefiles, etc. and seldom will need the info provided by these
features.  However, a user, particularly on a large system where
they don't even know who built lynx ,are the ones who need this info
when reporting problems.
