Who cares if a taxi way is blocked, whether they have moved the de -icing pad, or even if the ground frequency has changed - all of that will become obvious once you land or ask to taxi - what's more important are factors that WE REALLY NEED TO KNOW ABOUT - and my point is that these should be HIGHLIGHTED rather than hidden in the small print.

Regarding the highlighted text I can tell you about a problem we had in BBU airport. There was a NOTAM that anyody read or toke into account. That NOTAM was telling us that a taxiway was being closed. Well, who cares if a taxiway is blocked? I will answer you that question: if you are flying an aircraft with a nose steering limitation, you should, because that taxiway was allowing us to exit the runway as no turning pad was available. This is an important item to take into account, as the aircraft was flying to an airport that could not provide any chance to perform a 180º turnaround due to that limitation.
