Comment (by jorbin):

 Replying to [comment:112 alexander.rohmann]:
 > @jorbin Looks like we posted at around the same time. Thoughts on my
 previous comment? We seem to be trending on an idea. User education would
 be super valuable. It does risks putting outdated hosts in a bad spot
 because the curtain gets pulled back, but that might not be such a bad
 thing after all this time.


 A dashboard notice was considered in #9751 and while I was originally in
 favor, without a large amount of educational information (much more than
 could or should reasonably fit in a notice), it doesn't solve anything. It
 just becomes either a notice for users to ignore or if not worded really
 well, argumentum in terrorem.
