Comment (by rwbarton):

 Actually I see one case where not suggesting using +RTS makes sense: when
 the user has installed a Haskell application like pandoc through their
 package manager, if it wasn't built with -rtsopts, the suggestion to link
 with -rtsopts will be rather unhelpful.

 I suppose we could add an option -no-rtsopts-suggestions and encourage
 people distributing binaries to build with either -rtsopts or -no-rtsopts-
 suggestions...
