Conventions are by nature universal, and what we have here is a very specific use case. Keep in mind that we're not building a generic tool to be built on top of by others, but a learning tool and a development tool for a very special purpose. In those cases, I feel it's entirely reasonable to break away from convention in the name of simplicity. If the information is not actually going to be used by someone, it does not need to be present in our README.
