14 TBH, for clusters I would insert a sentence like
15 "If you are administering a cluster of many identical Gentoo machines, please
16 see $WIKIPAGE before enabling submission"
17
18 and there then have a few more instructions (like how to enable only for one
19 machine, and additionally provide us with the cluster size). I guess in this
20 case we can add this further step, since whoever is doing that will be both
21 invested in Gentoo and able to read docs.
