Yea, discord is a need-to-login type of context. If
one is unlikely to want to establish such a login,
such discord URLs should likely be ignored. (I
originally established a login in order to get to
Solid Run's support for their HoneyComb [aarch64
based].)

As for the specific report, some of the information
was presented with images, making for a not great
fit for the mail-list. Thus the URL usage for those
that could readily use it.

So far, it has turned out that the message to the
mail-list mostly has prompted other leaks to be
found and fixed. Not bad for unintended
consequences.
