Yes, good response. If someone is adult (fire) or the master
(computer), he should be able to change code. But there is no reason
to remove security measures for the rest. It is like the demostation
that you are really what you say to be, that you are commited to jump
thru the window (good luck).

In the best case, I would vote for a count down. As user insist, the
font and other details become bigger / more colorfull, etc. After,
lets say 20 times (number 19 should have a full screen message that
took 30 second to disappear, and loud sounds), there appears a (big as
19 too)

"OK NO MORE WARNINGS, IF YOU BREAK IT, YOU FIX IT, AND DO NOT ASK `OS
provider here` TO FIX IT FOR YOU, THIS VOIDS ANY CONTRACT OR
WARRANTIES"

(+ "AND YOUR FRIENDS WILL LAUGH IF YOU ASK THEM" too? ;] ), and no
more warnings (until next distro upgrade? GNOME upgrade? forever?).

But I preffer the "if you wanna avoid it, remove it yourself". At
least you will learn how to patch code if you did not already. ;]
