It seems rather overdesigned anyway, considering that there's been
exactly zero field demand for a customizable banner. The only reason
the idea even came up was that Peter proposed a switchable banner as
a compromise between different desires. But I think we've pretty much
got consensus that everyone is happy with reducing the help text to
"type "help" for help", so there's really no need for customizing.
