Oh so you mean, this might break earlier than expected or have decreased performance sooner kind of messages.
Ya, i dont see something like that ever being added, and some people wouldn’t realize it.
yeah. No sane company is going to add that sort of message even tho it REALLY should in that sort of instance.
