We'd get better coverage in an opt-out system than in an opt-in system. (First idea- package is pulled in by a default-on useflag and installs itself into cron.daily. BEFORE it runs the first time it outputs said message and asks for permission to proceed (which cannot be done in the cron job obviously but we'd find a way).) -- Andreas K.
