Yep, leave out all those items that are not relevant and only report the ones that are relevant. MCAS' existence turned out to by highly relevant (and obviously needing redundancy in systems/sensors, blablabla), so should have been reported/documented, but was deliberately avoided in all communication with the FAA (and towards customers, except 1 stray mention of the mnemonic).
