We could add these two to the warning, then, to discourage people
who see "please visit this URL" and say "Yuck, I have no time for
that" without actually visiting.

We could. Personally I don't see the point of making the warning any
more annoying. The instructiosn are just one click away, and if they
have no time for that, they can just ignore the warning.

Yes, if they know a short-and-sweet instruction is at the top of the
page, "just one click away" is a good justification, but the reason
I suggested to add the instruction to the warning is because the URL
alone does not tell them that there is a short and easy-to-follow
instruction is behind it, not giving them enough clue to judge if
they have time for that or not.

To me the endgame is that the code is removed, and only stubs remain.

I meant I want 3. eventually, hopefully for v2.1.

No, I don't want them crippled for v2.0. A warning should suffice.

OK, I think I understand what you want, and I am fine with that
timeline.

I can start preparing -rc4 now, but it may slip into tomorrow.

Thanks.
