I'm not going to fight you on that tooth and nail if you really want
to do it that way, but I don't see much point. The paragraphs to which
I propose to add this information are currently just one sentence long
each, and with this patch they will be two sentences each. Probably we
don't need markup for people to notice the second sentence.
Also, while there may very well be people who have legitimately been
unpleasantly surprised by the actual behavior here, an awful lot of
the "people" currently discovering the situation here are in fact just
looking for a way to manufacture a security report. As long as we have
a statement of some kind in the docs, we can just point to that. It
doesn't need to be particularly prominent -- although I'm not trying
to conceal it, either. I didn't find a more natural place to mention
this than where I actually put it.
