I strongly dislike having Help sections just to tell you there is no help.
Think of an angry frustrated user who as a last resort finally looks up
the manual, and maybe you can empathise how it would be more annoying to
find something unhelpful than to find nothing at all. (It doesn't help
that Yelp is the most painfully slow application on my poor old home
machine.)

I would prefer if you didn't do the latter (I while back while updating
the doc's I commented out a few "None" sections) but as maintainer it is
of course up to Callum what he is willing to accept.
