They'll turn themselves on automatically when the version number
reaches .14; they are on in .13 (they are based on even/odd).

A critical warning is not some annoying spew in your console which you
can ignore; it is an indication that something has gone HORRIBLY wrong
and you should fix it immediately.  It is not a faint light that says
"check engine", it is a big siren screaming, "HOLY SHIT, SOMEONE PUT
SUGAR IN YOUR GAS TANK".
