i don't think so. i doubt this flag is in common use enough to warrant
spamming every user of Gentoo. especially when the people who do use it can
easily be migrated per my recommendation. similarly, people who do use this

generally speaking, i think it makes a lot more sense to put the notice at the
point where it matters.
