I don't understand the security concerns about "do not publish this."

It's protected by transport level security, and it's encouraged to use application-level signing.  It's machine readable, or easily parseable, and it makes it easier for people to report problems.  Do we have a problem with over-reportage?

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the better.
