I think your logic is faulty here. There are already many adequate
resources in the motd, but your argument for the 'rtfm script' presupposes
that the person has not looked at the motd, because if they had they
wouldn't need the script.
Honestly, while this is one of those things that sounds good when
you first start talking about it, in practice I don't see what we gain
from it.
