   The code for existing major modes follows various coding conventions,
 including conventions for local keymap and syntax table initialization,
 global names, and hooks.  Please follow these conventions when you
-define a new major mode.
+define a new major mode.  (Fundamental mode is an exception to many
+of these conventions, because its definition is to present the global
+state of Emacs.)
 
   This list of conventions is only partial, because each major mode
 should aim for consistency in general with other Emacs major modes.
