For a analogy, lets say someone says that feature X should exist. Would
pointing to him or her that such a feature already exists be RTFM? I
dont think so. Do you find it hard to believe that users dont actually
read much documentation? Perhaps a few good looks at usability studies
or talking to people who work on documentation would convince you of that.

Do you believe that this is going to be more discoverable than the menu
entry for help which provides exactly that?

Seems to be based on a incorrect assumption. Fedora questions on
fedora-list and fedoraforums are usually answered pretty well. This list
is for contributors.
