I think listing receive.* and advice.* (and maybe even remove.<name>.*) is still ok. The goal is to give users a clue. They'll need to look up in config.txt anyway for explanation. If we name the config keys (and groups) well then users should be able to guess what those keys may be for before deciding whether to look into details.
