A valid remark, I agree that adding a pr_warn_once here would be good I will do so for the next version.
And could documentation be added for ways in which this could be used in practice?
I can write a little how to use this to get an embedded firmware, I will add this to firmware/fallback-mechanisms.rst for the next version. Regards, Hans
