"C-v text-mode-hook" really states that it is 
"Normal hook run when entering Text mode and many related modes."

"Many related modes", basically tells you nothing. 

I can understand your comment about keeping in mind that every mode for
something that looks like a programming language inherits from prog-mode.

But cannot understand any good comment to keep in mind regarding text-mode-hook.

Emacs should have some automatic mechanism that determines an association tree
on how modes extend to others.
