Yes, if they know a short-and-sweet instruction is at the top of the page, "just one click away" is a good justification, but the reason I suggested to add the instruction to the warning is because the URL alone does not tell them that there is a short and easy-to-follow instruction is behind it, not giving them enough clue to judge if they have time for that or not. > To me the endgame is that the code is removed, and only stubs remain. > ... > I meant I want 3. eventually, hopefully for v2.1. > ... > No, I don't want them crippled for v2.0. A warning should suffice. OK, I think I understand what you want, and I am fine with that timeline. I can start preparing -rc4 now, but it may slip into tomorrow. Thanks.
