Being somewhat repetitive was was intentional. It's sort of
like the redundant information in an error-correction code. It
reduces the liklyhood of being misunderstood -- expecially by
readers for whom English is a second language. Maybe it's just
me, but I'm always reluctant to follow instructions in emerge
warning messages where there's no explanation of what the
action is doing and why it is needed.
