The only thing I can think of is there might be developers who create 
Drupal-based websites for clients but wish to take steps to hide the fact that 
it's Drupal, for whatever reason they might have (security-by-obscurity, making 
it so clients don't have a perception that they're getting a "canned" website, 
trying to charge clients for something the company claims they built themselves..?).

I personally would vote for transparency in all cases, as I can't really think 
of a truly good reason to keep a client in the dark about what they paid for.

But I don't know, maybe there are other reasons I'm not thinking of. I'll be 
fixing a couple remaining issues with the script tomorrow/next day and hopefully 
that'll give some time for this issue to be hammered out enough to know whether 
to put the links in or not.
