I think Andy Tai made it clear that this sort far reaching changes
are out of scope for tla.
I don't think that improving `tla help' is such a far reaching change.
Now, to try being constructive, I believe Derek means that
"improving" the help message involves hiding as much stuff as
possible.
And I stronly disagree with hiding useful, even if it is not often
used (which is why it imperative that it is easily locatable),
information is a good idea.
