that "miniscule" may not worry you much because you have some knowledge on working/running a server ... you probably have direct access to it - do you think everyone else does?
that "miniscule" may be fine for someone who knows what's "under the hood" ... do you think everyone else understand what's going on?
that "miniscule" may be fine for someone who knows the difference between a "good" script and "bad" script ... do you think everyone has this knowledge?
that "miniscule" may be the cause of someone's problem down the road
yea -- ok ... and, you still don't see how "instructions" would be helpful?
As far as the whole server situation, i agree that it is a bit irrelevant and the plugins used to perform a search and replace are beyond small.
As for the instructions, the only way that they would be more useful than a search and replace is if the user knows the template system and can look for something similar to the instruction like peter said. However, they can easily do the same thing by editing the plugin and changing the search string.

It's a lot easier to find a suitable place to insert the edit if you have it in a readme file as a manual edit than having to start trying to figure out which of the plugins has controlled the template edits then have to work with the plugins and templates to find something to maryr up enough to get the desired effect.
It's quite close because all of us coders like to tinker and we voted. It is in no way a indicator of how the "general user" feels.
Perhaps they can make it so that we can see who voted or the mods can post a lit that they can update every so often?
