| 7 | This seems like a sure-fire way to make users paranoid and/or |
| 8 | desensitized? People will learn to ignore warnings if we make them big |
| 9 | red and flashing but then say they're only potential breakages (and they |
| 10 | subsequently discover that most everything runs fine). If they learn to |
| 11 | ignore big red flashing warnings it'll be more difficult when they're |
| 12 | not potential breakages but actual ones we've accurately identified... |
