Comment (by ianatkins):

 I think a hook is the solution. Let those that want to hang onto something
 for old times sake keep it, let those of us who don't want our non-tech
 savy users screwing when they see the message, disable it.

 I think the issue I have with this is that most easter eggs are some
 obscure combination of key presses, or a hidden button etc. They are
 hidden, its their nature; this 'easter egg' is accessed by function, which
 only adds to the confusion. The context gives the message authority.
