I think you'd be surprised. We get -questions mail at least twice a month to the effect that, "My cpu is a foo++ Triple Zed but the boot probe says it's just a foo. How do I know that freebsd is using all the bells and whistles on my cpu... etc." You can rest assured that two letters a month to -questions translates to a couple dozen who don't bother to write. My vote is for more detail as long as it doesn't hurt performance.
