I think this may be worthy of an FAQ entry anyway, since quite a few 
distributions contain older coreutils versions. You already did a 
prototype "implementation," so it should not be too much work?

Of course most people ignore warnings, and of those who don't only a 
select few will check if a report is necessary before sending one. Thus 
I would expect a minimal impact only.

This is just a suggestion, feel free to ignore it. :-)

Thanks,
Erik
