I think that something a bit more elaborate with links to the relevant
pages (proxy-maint, etc) that is more user-oriented might help with
that.  I'd also suggest putting the link in every package mask notice.
 Hopefully then users will read the link before they reply on the
list, and we can perhaps make treecleaning a more positive experience
all around.

I'll take a pass at tossing something together and we can see if it
makes sense.  I'm trying to be constructive about this, and I've made
a new-years resolution to stop arguing about hypotheticals and offer
improvements before criticism.  (FYI - anybody on the list is willing
to send me a note off-list if you catch me breaking my resolution.)
