Two points
1) I think it's actually the part that I think quite a few people read,
to check if the enabled what they need. Those that don't read it
probably don't care anyway.
2) Your suggestion is good, but I don't think I feel like going to that
level of effort. Plus, it's now quite clear to me how the warning and
whatever else you print would not also be something that "nobody reads"
