If `help-mode' is the correct mode for these buffers, then I think
`with-output-to-temp-buffer' should be documented to put the buffer in
help mode, and it should be done explicitly in the code -- not by having
help.el alter `temp-buffer-setup-hook' when help.el is loaded.
I think the reason I did it in the hook was to create a way to turn it
off. Your change would eliminate that possibility.
It is surely possible to change how this area works, but please
don't just delete these hook settings.
