The problem is that every time we get a bug report that some user
tripped over something that was not clear in the documentation, the
patch wants to add a note or warning, which causes some parts of the
documentation to degrade into just a series of warning boxes.  The fewer
warning boxes there are, however, the more likely the user will actually
read all of the documentation, I think.
