maybe not - in a perfect universe, users could identify versions of ncurses
without the patch level, but in practice having that information helps with
a lot of bug reports.

Here's another problematic site - 
https://linux.die.net/man/3/ncurses

The only nice thing about that one is that it has the patch level :-)
