Adding extra warnings/notices is not a zero-cost action so there has to
be justification to do it.  Actually it is near-zero cost to use but not
zero-cost to our users who have to read it multiple places.  (Think dumb
product warning labels.)

What I have done is to move the item up to the top of our
incompatibilities list in the release notes.  That is near zero cost for
everyone.
