need to be sure they see the warning though.

yeah, but the next start of fish will want to move them again, unless
there is a switch to avoid that, at which point you are back to having a
way for the user to tell fish wether to move or not. (only difference
being that move is the default now)

ok.

i will.
note that i am not trying to get you to change your mind, i am rather
trying to help make sure that your decision is vetted against any
possible counter arguments, which in this case might shed a bad light on
fish if people get bitten. (so we better make sure that fish doesn't bite :-)
i'll be perfectly happy if you manage to shoot down any case i come up with.
