Karl-Dieter Crisman commented about stopgaps that he would find it
inappropriate, if *everytime* sage is restarted, a user will get warnings
when using routines which return incorrect results; see discussion at
http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/17183
So one could imagine following enhancement:
- Show a {{{stopgap}}} only once per installation per user per sage-
version
In case a user wants a different behaviour, {{{stopgap}}} could be made
configurable
e.g. in a way that a stopgap is shown in case of a hit once every time
sage is executed.
Also I could imagine to warn greenhorns about bugs in CAS by showing at
start a message that mathematical software may contain bugs leading to
wrong results, with a link to [http://trac.sagemath.org/report/79
Mathematically wrong answer] list and to
[http://trac.sagemath.org/query?status=new&status=needs_work&status=needs_review&status=needs_info&status=positive_review&type=defect&max=0&order=id
