That's not _entirely_ true; there's the maoing
Documentation/included/. I'd like to get rid of it, but that
would be a 1- or 5-hour (me vs newbie) task that has relatively
little payoff.

After counting the items in the original email, it's literally 12
of one, and a dozen of the other.
Appendices are generally for large lists; as far as I see, all the
appendices have at least 100 items in them. I don't know quite
where the ideal cutoff would come, but my initial feeling is that
it'd be somewhere around 30.
So I think in this case, a snippet is appropriate.
