I personally found it Meh in the sense that those who read and followed the previous note would find it adding no new information, and to those who don't bother the additional note would not help very much because they would not understand (and more importantly, would not care) where that "this affects ALL submodules" comes from, or why that leads to "so it is only useful...".

But it may be just me.
