The way I see it is rather simple. It's nice to have an automated way to brag about which distro you're running. But in the end that doesn't help anyone, not really. Distrowatch may bump us to first place but does that change what arch is? It'll just create stress on the developers and people in the community as it may happen to us, like it does to Debian or Gentoo channels. You're worried about people not reading the docs now already? In my point of view it all sums up to about this: If the packages I have work for me, it's all I want. Putting extra complexity into packages just for the sake of adding yet another distro specific splashscreen for me is just a hassle, out of which I don't see any advantage but personal enjoyment when bragging.
