Comment(by zooko):
How about this for the warning paragraph:
"Be VERY careful that you know what you're doing if you use this feature.
Choosing bad keys could compromise the security of your files. Also, a
key MUST NOT be used more than once. If the same key is ever used more
than once -- whether on more than one file or even on the same file with
more than one set of FEC parameters (K, N, segsize) -- it will expose the
cleartext of the files it was used on, as well as causing uploads of those
files to fail even while indicating successful upload."
