Yes, I understand the point, but I don't see how this is worse than
the alternative. If I had hard-coded the activation lease info in the
build, it *still* wouldn't have information about postal mail access,
and there would be no way to put it there.
For 9.1 we should have both: the library-common bundle is the right
place to put information about dev keys; I hope that we will also
replace the current form with a sugar control panel, which can have
more information as well.
