I might, in some situations.  Others might not.  It's good to offer the
choice.

The majority of people wouldn't need to.  The links are for those that
want the extra information.  The choices seem to be:
  * Put all of the information up front.
    This could be offputting for those that don't want the advanced 
    information right away.
  * Don't let the users know where to get more advanced information.
    Why keep it a secret?
  * Provide the basic information, and link to more information for
    those who want it.
    It seems like a good choice to me, but you can't please everyone.

And if you think that the details at 989 aren't very much needed, but
want to let people who might be interested know where to get it right
away, a link sounds like a good idea.

When you start Emacs, you are given a message:
   "For information about GNU Emacs and the GNU system, type C-h C-a."
Typing C-hC-a leads you to hyperlinks/articles on using Emacs (and other
information, too).  It's possible that someone doesn't know what
"C-hC-a" means (it's explained in the tutorial), but there is a Help
menu, whose first menu item is the Emacs tutorial.
