--- Comment #13 from Harald Sitter <[email protected]> ---
Yes a rework of the system as a whole. I started but got bogged down on it
being a super invasive.

There is also the question if we really should warn on this stuff by default.
>From the bug reports I've seen there is about twice as much evidence of
notifications leading to false positives than not notifying leading to false
negatives. And that is also why I've seen none of our end users able to deal
with the notification. Unless you know how SMART works and how disk damage
**may** manifest you have zero chance of making heads or tales of the soft
warnings - even if we actually dumped the raw smartctl output in the UI. This
entire feature continues to irk me greatly as it runs counter to the original
design goal. If we can't tell the user "yo, change the disk" with reasonable
certainty we really should just tell them nothing me thinks.
