The idea was to get everything that the injector adds into just one header
(remember that there MUST be just ONE injector-info header).

If injectors can pick and choose which of various headers they can add,
then you leave it open to scammers to insert their own version of the ones
thay know their local injector is _not_ going to add.

I think this is also the reason why the Complaints-To should be part of
the same header.
